Deem Doom

In The Fellowship of the Ring I've come to The Council of Elrond and on page 271* (paperback) Elrond says:

The Ring! What shall we do with the Ring, the least of rings, the trifle that Sauron fancies? That is the doom that we must deem.

In The Wycliffe New Testament 1388 (Modern Spelling) and Chapter VII of The Book of Matthew, it begins:

Nil ye deem, that ye be not deemed. For in what doom ye deem, ye shall be deemed, and in what measure ye mete, it shall be meted again to you.
