Judith 3:11DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 11 of 15

"And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart:"
Judith 3:11

In context

9And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming.

10And received him with garlands, and lights, and dances, and tumbrels, and flutes.

11And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart:

12For he both destroyed their cities and cut down their groves.

13For Nabuchodonosor the king had commanded him to destroy all the gods of the earth, that he only might be called God by those nations which could be brought under him by the power of Holofernes.
