Judith 4:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ that they should hold [or they wield] the goings-up of the hills, by which hills a way to (or for) their enemies might be to Jerusalem, and that they should keep there, where (a) straight way might be perceived (or discovered) among the hills/by which way might be to Jerusalem, and that they should keep there, where (a) straight way might be among the hills.

⁷ And the sons of Israel did after this behest (or command), that Joakim, the (high) priest of the Lord, had ordained to them.

⁸ And all the people cried to the Lord with great instance, or hearty beseeching, and they and the women of them meeked their souls in fastings.
