Judith 8:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction.

²⁸ And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words.

²⁹ Now therefore pray for us, for thou art a holy woman, and one fearing God.
