Douay Bible - Judith Chapter 11

Judith 11:1 Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Judith 11:2 And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them.
