Random Catholic Bible Verse Generator
One tap for a random verse from the Catholic Bible — the Douay-Rheims translation with the full 73-book canon, including the deuterocanonical books most generators leave out. Free, instant, no sign-up.
Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
A generator that includes the whole Catholic canon
Most verse generators draw only from the 66 books of the Protestant canon. This one includes the deuterocanonical books — Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1–2 Maccabees — so a random verse might come from Wisdom or Sirach as well as from John or Psalms.
The Douay-Rheims Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate and revised by Bishop Challoner, is the classic English Catholic translation — and it is in the public domain, which is why we can share its complete text here.
Following the Vulgate tradition of the Douay-Rheims itself, Psalm references on this page use the Douay-Rheims numbering — so the beloved “Lord is my shepherd” psalm appears as Psalm 22 here rather than 23. The text is the same; only the numbering follows Catholic tradition.
