Judith 2:6-8

Good News Translation

     ⁶ Then attack the lands to the west because they refused to respond to my appeal for help. ⁷ Warn them that they must prepare their offerings of earth and water to show that they have surrendered unconditionally. I will make them feel the full force of my anger and completely destroy them. My armies will march over every foot of their land and plunder it as they go. ⁸ I will fill the valleys with their dead bodies and will choke up every stream and river with so many corpses that they will all overflow.
