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. Judith 11:3 But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us? Judith 11:4 And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing.
