Deuteronomy 25:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ “Remember what Am′alek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, ¹⁸ how he attacked you on the way, when you were faint and weary, and cut off at your rear all who lagged behind you; and he did not fear God. ¹⁹ Therefore when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Am′alek from under heaven; you shall not forget.
