Judith 4:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ And all the people cried to the Lord with great instance, or hearty beseeching, and they and the women of them meeked their souls in fastings.

⁹ And the priests clothed themselves with hair-shirts, and the young children bowed themselves against (or towards) the face of the temple of the Lord, and they covered the altar of the Lord with an hair-shirt.

¹⁰ And they cried together to the Lord God of Israel, lest the children of them should be given into prey, and the wives of them into parting, or departing, by (the) violence of ravishers, and their cities into destroying, and their holy things into defouling (or their temple defiled). [And they cried to the Lord God of Israel all together, lest were given their children into prey, and their wives into division, and their cities into destruction, and the holy things of them into pollution.]
