Judith 8:25DRA

23So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful.

24But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord,

25Were destroyed by the destroyer, and perished by serpents.

26As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer.

27But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction.
