Judith 8:18-20

Good News Translation

     ¹⁸ We do not worship gods made with human hands. Not one of our clans, tribes, towns, or cities has ever done that, even though our ancestors used to do so. ¹⁹ That is why God let their enemies kill them and take everything they had. It was a great defeat! ²⁰ But since we worship no other God but the Lord, we can hope that he will not reject us or any of our people.
