Judith 5:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And there was no one that triumphed over this people, but when they departed from the worship of the Lord their God.

¹⁸ But as often as beside their own God, they worshipped any other, they were given to spoil, and to the sword, and to reproach.

¹⁹ And as often as they were penitent for having revolted from the worship of their God, the God of heaven gave them power to resist.
