Judith 8:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service:

¹⁷ Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility.

¹⁸ For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods.
