Judith 3
Config
1 And they sent unto him messengers with words of peace, saying,
2 Behold, we the servants of Nebuchadnezzar [1]the great king lie before thee: use us as it is pleasing in thy sight.
3 Behold, our dwellings, and all our country, [2]and all our fields of wheat, and our flocks and herds, and all the sheepcotes of our tents, lie before thy face: use them as it may please thee.
4 Behold, even our cities and they that dwell in them are thy servants: [3]come and deal with them as it is good in thine eyes.
5 And the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him according to these words.
6 And he came down toward [4]the sea coast, he and his host, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for allies.
7 And they received him, they and all the country round about them, [5]with garlands and dances [6]and timbrels.
8 And he cast down all their borders, and cut down their groves: and it had been given unto him to destroy all the gods of the land, [7]that all the nations should worship Nebuchadnezzar only, and that all their tongues and their tribes should call upon him as god.
9 And he came towards [8]Esdraelon nigh unto Dotæa, which is over against the great ridge of Judæa.
10 And he encamped between [9]Geba and [10]Scythopolis, and he was there a whole month, that he might gather together all [11]the baggage of his host.
