Judith 11:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 They have decided that they would use the first fruits of grain and the tithes of wine and oil, which they had consecrated and reserved for the priests who minister in the presence of our God in Jerusalem—things which the people should not so much as touch with their hands.(A) 14 They have sent messengers to Jerusalem to bring back permission from the senate, for even there people have done these things.(B) 15 On the very day when the response reaches them and they act upon it, they will be handed over to you for destruction.
