Judith 11:5-7

Common English Bible

Judith’s speech

⁵ Judith answered him, “Listen to the words of your slave and let your servant woman speak in your presence. I won’t lie to you this night, my master. ⁶ If you follow the instructions of your female servant, God will accomplish something great through you, and my master’s plans won’t fail. ⁷ As Nebuchadnezzar king of the whole earth lives, and as his power that sent you to direct every living being endures—not only do humans serve him because of you, but even the animals of the field, the cattle, and the birds in the sky live under Nebuchadnezzar and all his house because of your power.
