Judith 8:24 CPDV

²²  They are obliged to remember how our father Abraham was tested, and being proved by many tribulations, he was made the friend of God.

²³  So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful.

²⁴  But those who did not accept the trials with the fear of the Lord, and who brought forward their impatience and the disgrace of their murmuring against the Lord,

²⁵  were exterminated by the exterminator, and they perished by serpents.

²⁶  And as for us, therefore, let us not revenge ourselves for these things that we suffer.
