Judith 11:2-4

Common English Bible

² Even now, if your people who live in the highlands hadn’t insulted me, I wouldn’t have raised my spear against them. But they have brought this on themselves. ³ Now tell me why you escaped from them and came to us. You’re safe now, so take courage. You will live tonight and from now on. ⁴ No one will harm you. They will treat you well, just like all the slaves of my master King Nebuchadnezzar.”
