11:6. For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and
it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and
mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all
provinces.
11:7. It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what
thou hast commanded to be done to him.
11:8. For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he
hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them
up for their sins.
11:9. And because the children of Israel know they have offended their
God, thy dread is upon them.
11:10. Moreover also a famine hath come upon them, and for drought of
water they are already to be counted among the dead.
11:11. And they have a design even to kill their cattle, and to drink
the blood of them.
11:12. And the consecrated things of the Lord their God which God
forbade them to touch, in corn, wine, and oil, these have they purposed
to make use of, and they design to consume the things which they ought
not to touch with their hands: therefore because they do these things,
it is certain they will be given up to destruction.
11:13. And I thy handmaid knowing this, am fled from them, and the Lord
hath sent me to tell thee these very things.
11:14. For I thy handmaid worship God even now that I am with thee, and
thy handmaid will go out, and I will pray to God,
11:15. And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I
will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of
Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that
have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against
thee:
11:16. Because these things are told me by the providence of God.
11:17. And because God is angry with them, I am sent to tell these very
things to thee.
11:18. And all these words pleased Holofernes, and his servants, and
they admired her wisdom, and they said one to another:
11:19. There is not such another woman upon earth in look, in beauty,
and in sense of words.
11:20. And Holofernes said to her: God hath done well who sent thee
before the people, that thou mightest give them into our hands:
11:21. And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me,
he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of
Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth.
Judith Chapter 12
Judith goeth out in the night to pray: she is invited to a banquet with
Holofernes.
12:1. Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were
laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given
her from his own table.
12:2. And Judith answered him and said: Now I cannot eat of these things
which thou commandest to be given me, lest sin come upon me: but I will
eat of the things which I have brought.
12:3. And Holofernes said to her: If these things which thou hast
brought with thee fail thee, what shall we do for thee?
12:4. And Judith said: As thy soul liveth, my lord, thy handmaid shall
not spend all these things till God do by my hand that which I have
purposed. And his servants brought her into the tent which he had
commanded.
12:5. And when she was going in, she desired that she might have liberty
to go out at night and before day to prayer, and to beseech the Lord.
