Judith 8:10DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 10 of 34

"And they came to her, and she said to them: What is this word, by which Ozias hath consented to give up the city to the Assyrians, if within five days there come no aid to us?"
Judith 8:10

In context

8And she was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very much, neither was there any one that spoke an ill word of her.

9When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi.

10And they came to her, and she said to them: What is this word, by which Ozias hath consented to give up the city to the Assyrians, if within five days there come no aid to us?

11And who are you that tempt the Lord?

12This is not a word that may draw down mercy, but rather that may stir up wrath, and enkindle indignation.
