Judith 8:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²¹ For if we are captured, all Judea will be captured and our sanctuary will be plundered; and he will make us pay for its desecration with our blood. ²² The slaughter of our kindred and the captivity of the land and the desolation of our inheritance—all this he will bring on our heads among the Gentiles, wherever we serve as slaves; and we shall be an offence and a disgrace in the eyes of those who acquire us. ²³ For our slavery will not bring us into favour, but the Lord our God will turn it to dishonour.
