Judith 11:1-2

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 11

¹ Then Holofernes said to her, “Have courage, woman! You have no reason to fear. I have never done harm to anyone who chose to serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the whole earth. ² As for your people who dwell in the hill country, if they had not insulted me, I would never have raised my spear against them. They have brought this on themselves.
