Judith 5:19-21
Common English Bible
19 But now they have turned back to their God, having returned from the place where they were scattered. They have occupied Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and settled in the highlands, because it was desolate. 20 Now, my lord and master, if this people should slip up and sin against their God, and if we find out about their offense, then we can go up and defeat them. 21 But if they as a nation aren’t guilty, it is better that my master just pass them by, for their Lord and God will protect them, and we will become a joke throughout all the land.”
