Judith 10:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Judith and her female servant continued to go straight through the valley until an Assyrian patrol met them. ¹² They arrested her and asked, “Who are your people? Where did you come from? And where are you going?”

She replied, “I’m a daughter of the Hebrews, and I’m escaping from them because they are about to be handed over to you to be consumed. ¹³ I’m going to see Holofernes the general of your army, to bring to him a true report of the situation. Furthermore, I will show him a road he can use to control all of the highlands without losing the life of even one of his men.”
