Judith 5:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ This people is descended from the Chalde′ans. ⁷ At one time they lived in Mesopota′mia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers who were in Chalde′a. ⁸ For they had left the ways of their ancestors, and they worshiped the God of heaven, the God they had come to know; hence they drove them out from the presence of their gods; and they fled to Mesopota′mia, and lived there for a long time.
