Judith 16:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Let all your creatures serve you.
    You gave the command,
    and all of them came into being;
    you breathed on them,
    and all of them were created.
    No one can oppose your command.
¹⁵ The mountains and the seas tremble,
    and rocks melt like wax when you come near.
But there is mercy for all who obey you.
^16 (A)The Lord is more pleased with those who obey him
    than with all the choice meat on the altar,
    or with all the most fragrant sacrifices.
