Judith 10:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Judith Is Captured
11 As the women[a] were going straight on through the valley, an Assyrian patrol met her(A) 12 and took her into custody. They asked her, “To what people do you belong, and where are you coming from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I am a daughter of the Hebrews, but I am fleeing from them, for they are about to be handed over to you to be devoured.(B) 13 I am on my way to see Holofernes the commander of your army, to give him a true report; I will show him a way by which he can go and capture all the hill country without losing one of his men, captured or slain.”
