Judith 11:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them.

³ But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us?

⁴ And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing.
