New Testament

Judith 9:5-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. For all your ways have been prepared, and you have placed your judgments within your providence.

6. Look upon the camp of the Assyrians now, just as you deigned to look upon the camp of the Egyptians, when their weapons rushed after your servants, trusting in their four-horse chariots, and in their horsemen, and in a multitude of warriors.

7. But you gazed upon their camp, and darkness wearied them.

8. The abyss took hold of their feet, and the waters covered them.

9. So may it be with these also, O Lord, who trust in their multitude, and in their swift chariots, and in their pikes, and in their shields, and in their arrows, and the glory in their lances.

10. And they do not know that you are our God, who crushes wars from the beginning, and the Lord is your name.
