Luke 14:10-11 [Latin]

10 But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.

11 Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Cum invitaus fueris ab aliquo, vade et accumbe in novissimo loco ut cum venerit qui te invitavit dicat tibi, amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram omnibus discumbentibus, omnis enim qui se extolletur.

Psalm 104:13-15 [Latin: Psalmi 103:13-15]

13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: The earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:

14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. [O Lord,] That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:

15 And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.

De fructu óperum tuórum, Dómine, satiábitur terra: ut edúcas panem de terra, et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis: ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo, et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
