Judith 2:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ He encircled the Midianites, set fire to their tents, and pillaged their sheepfolds. ²⁷ Following that, he swooped down into the plain of Damascus at the time of the wheat harvest. He razed all their fields, destroyed their flocks and herds, sacked their towns, laid waste to their countryside, and slew all their young men by the sword.

²⁸ Fear and dread of him seized all the inhabitants of the seacoast, those living in Sidon and Tyre and those located in Sur and Ocina as well as those found in Jamnia, while even the populations of Azotus and Ascalon were equally frightened of him.
