Judith 8:20-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁰ But we know no other god but him, and so we hope that he will not disdain us or any of our nation. 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.
