Judith 7:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ And therefore there is none that helpeth us, when we be cast down in thirst, and in great loss before their eyes. [And therefore there is not that helpeth, when we be thrown down before the eyes of them in thirst, and in great perdition.]

¹⁵ And now therefore gather ye together all men, that be in this city, (so) that all we peoples betake us-selves by free will to Holofernes.

¹⁶ It is better that we be made prisoners, and bless God and live, then that we die thus, and we be shame to each man, and since we see our wives and our young children die for default (or our own failure) before our eyes. [Better it is that captive we bless God living than we die, and be reproof to all flesh, when we see our wives and our children die before our eyes,]
