Judith 5:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And as long as they sinned not in the sight of their God, it was well with them: for their God hateth iniquity.

²² And even some years ago when they had revolted from the way which God had given them to walk therein, they were destroyed in battles by many nations, and very many of them were led away captive into a strange land.

²³ But of late returning to the Lord their God, from the different places wherein they were scattered, they are come together and are gone up into all these mountains, and possess Jerusalem again, where their holies are.
