Judith 5:20 CPDV

¹⁸  But as often as they worshipped any other, except their own God, they were delivered to plunder, and to the sword, and into reproach.

¹⁹  But as often as they were repentant for having withdrawn from the worship of their God, the God of heaven gave them the power to resist.

²⁰  And, indeed, they overthrew the king of the Canaanites, and of the Jebusites, and of the Perizzites, and of the Hethites, and of the Hevites, and of the Amorrhites, and all the powerful ones in Hesebon, and these same possessed their lands and their cities.

²¹  And, as long as they did not sin in the sight of their God, it was well with them. For their God hates iniquity.

²²  And even some years ago, when they had withdrawn from the way that their God had given them to walk, they were destroyed in battles by many nations and very many of them were led away captive into a land not their own.
