Judith 16:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Let your every creature serve you;
for you spoke, and they were made.
You sent forth your spirit, and it created them;(A)
no one can resist your voice.(B)
15 For the mountains to their bases
are tossed with the waters;
the rocks, like wax, melt before your glance.(C)
“But to those who fear you,
you will show mercy.
16 Though the sweet fragrance of every sacrifice is a trifle,
and the fat of all burnt offerings but little in your sight,
one who fears the Lord is forever great.
