Judith 8:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility.

¹⁸ For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods.

¹⁹ For which crime they were given up to their enemies, to the sword, and to pillage, and to confusion: but we know no other God but him.
