Judith 11:5-7
Good News Translation
5 Then Judith said to Holofernes,
Allow me to speak to you, my lord, and please listen to what I have to say. I will tell you the truth. 6 If you follow my advice, God will do something great with you, and my lord will not fail in his plan. 7 (A)For I swear to you by the life and strength of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the whole world, who sent you to bring order to all the subjects of his kingdom, that not only have you made people serve him, but because of you even the wild animals, the livestock, and the birds obey him. Because of you, Nebuchadnezzar and his entire kingdom will prosper.[a]
