Judith 8:30-32

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁰ But the people were so thirsty that they compelled us to do for them what we have promised, and made us take an oath that we cannot break. ³¹ Now since you are a God-fearing woman, pray for us, so that the Lord may send us rain to fill our cisterns. Then we will no longer feel faint from thirst.’

³² Then Judith said to them, ‘Listen to me. I am about to do something that will go down through all generations of our descendants.
