Judith 7:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And when they had kept this watch for full twenty days, the cisterns, and the reserve of waters failed among all the inhabitants of Bethulia, so that there was not within the city, enough to satisfy them, no not for one day, for water was daily given out to the people by measure.

¹² Then all the men and women, young men, and children, gathering themselves together to Ozias, all together with one voice,

¹³ Said: God be judge between us and thee, for thou hast done evil against us, in that thou wouldst not speak peaceably with the Assyrians, and for this cause God hath sold us into their hands.
