Judith 2:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ He seized the territory of Cilicia and slaughtered everyone who offered him the slightest resistance. Then he proceeded to the southern borders of Japheth, facing Arabia. ²⁶ He encircled the Midianites, set fire to their tents, and pillaged their sheepfolds. ²⁷ Following that, he swooped down into the plain of Damascus at the time of the wheat harvest. He razed all their fields, destroyed their flocks and herds, sacked their towns, laid waste to their countryside, and slew all their young men by the sword.
