Judith 7:29-31

Common English Bible

²⁹ The whole congregation was wailing aloud together as they cried out to the Lord with a loud voice. ³⁰ Uzziah said to them, “Be brave, brothers and sisters. Let’s wait five more days for the Lord our God to come to our aid. Surely he won’t abandon us in the end. ³¹ But if the days pass by and help hasn’t arrived, I’ll do as you have said.”
