Judith 1:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ to all those who were in Samaria and its towns, and beyond the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, Bethany, Chelous, Kadesh, and the River of Egypt, to Tahpanhes, Rameses, and the whole land of Goshen, ¹⁰ even beyond Tanis and Memphis, and to all the inhabitants of Egypt as far as the borders of Ethiopia. ¹¹ However, the inhabitants of all those lands paid no heed to the summons of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Assyrians, and refused to join forces with him for the campaign. They were not afraid of him, regarding him as just a man. They sent his envoys away empty-handed and in disgrace.
