Judith 12:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² But Judith said, “I cannot partake of them, or it will be an offense, but I will have enough with the things I brought with me.”^{(A) 3} Holofernes said to her, “If your supply runs out, where can we get you more of the same? For none of your people are here with us.” ⁴ Judith replied, “As surely as you live, my lord, your servant will not use up the supplies I have with me before the Lord carries out by my hand what he has determined.”^(B)
