Judith 5:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Achior’s Report

⁵ Then Ach′ior, the leader of all the Am′monites, said to him, “Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of your servant, and I will tell you the truth about this people that dwells in the nearby mountain district. No falsehood shall come from your servant’s mouth. ⁶ This people is descended from the Chalde′ans. ⁷ At one time they lived in Mesopota′mia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers who were in Chalde′a.
