Judith 5:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ These people are descended from the Chaldeans. ⁷ At one time they lived in Mesopotamia, because they did not wish to follow the gods of their ancestors who were in Chaldea. ⁸ Since they had abandoned the ways of their ancestors, and worshiped the God of heaven, the God they had come to know, their ancestors^[a] drove them out from the presence of their gods. So they fled to Mesopotamia, and lived there for a long time.
