Judith 7:25-27

Good News Translation

     ²⁵ There is no one to help us now! God has put us in their power. We are exhausted and dying of thirst. ²⁶ Call the Assyrians now and surrender to them, and let Holofernes and his army take the town and loot it. ²⁷ We are better off as prisoners of war. They will make us slaves, but at least we will be alive, and we won't have to watch our wives and children dying before our eyes.
