Judith 14:1-2

Common English Bible

Judith’s instructions for victory

14 Judith said to them, “Listen well, my people! Take this head and hang it from the highest spot on your city walls. ² At daybreak, when the sun rises upon the earth, take up your weapons, each one of you, and let every capable man go outside of the city. Place a captain over them as if you are preparing to go down to the plain against the Assyrian guard. Only don’t go down.
