Judith 8:13LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 34

"You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure."
Judith 8:13

In context

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.

13You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure.

14But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon:

15For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger like the son of man.
