Judith 1:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ and everyone in Samaria and its cities, and beyond the Jordan as far as Jerusalem and Bethany and Chelous and Kadesh, and the river of Egypt, and Tahpanhes and Raamses, and all the land of Goshen, ¹⁰ even beyond Tanis and Memphis, and everyone who lived in Egypt as far away as the border of Ethiopia. ¹¹ But the people who lived in all those lands ignored the orders of King Nebuchadnezzar of the Assyrians. They didn’t join him in the war because they weren’t afraid of him and considered him to be nothing more than one man. So they sent away his messengers empty-handed and in disgrace.
