Judith 11:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ As Nebuchadnezzar king of the whole earth lives, and as his power that sent you to direct every living being endures—not only do humans serve him because of you, but even the animals of the field, the cattle, and the birds in the sky live under Nebuchadnezzar and all his house because of your power. ⁸ We’ve heard about your wisdom and your cunning spirit, and it was reported throughout all the land that, out of the entire kingdom, you alone are dignified, capable in intellect, and wonderful in military campaigns. ⁹ We heard what Achior told your council and his advice. The men of Bethulia spared him, and he told us everything he said to you.
