Judith 7:23 CPDV

²¹  so that they may not say among the Gentiles, 'Where is their God?'

²²  And when, being weary from these outcries, and tired from these weepings, they became silent,

²³  Uzziah, rising up covered in tears, said: 'Be steadfast in soul, brothers, and let us wait these five days for mercy from the Lord.

²⁴  For perhaps he will break off his indignation and give glory to his own name.

²⁵  But if, with five days passing, help does not arrive, we will accomplish the words that you have spoken.'
