First Martyrs of the Church of Rome

3:1Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities. 3Shall two walk together except they be agreed? 4Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion's whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? 5Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat? 6Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done? 7For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. 8The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy?

4:11I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord. 12Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel: and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O Israel.

5In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

6Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

7Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

8But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

23And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him: 24And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. 25And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. 26And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm. 27But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?
