Judith 7:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And therefore there is no one to help us, while we are cast down before their eyes in thirst, and sad destruction.

¹⁵ And now assemble ye all that are in the city, that we may of our own accord yield ourselves all up to the people of Holofernes.

¹⁶ For it is better, that being captives we should live and bless the Lord, than that we should die, and be a reproach to all flesh, after we have seen our wives and our infants die before our eyes.
