Judith 6:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ He answered and told them what was said in Holofernes’ council—both what he had said among the Assyrian commanders and what Holofernes had boasted he would do to the house of Israel.

¹⁸ Then the people fell down and worshipped God. They cried out: ¹⁹ “Lord God of heaven, look at their arrogance and have mercy on our nation in its humble state. Look favorably this day upon those who have been dedicated to you.”
