Judith 11:9

9 "Now concerning the matter which Achior spoke in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

Judith 11:9 In-Context

7 as Nebuchadnezzar king of all the earth liveth and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing. For not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air shall live by thy power under Nebuchadnezzar and all his house.

8 For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth that thou alone art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.

9 "Now concerning the matter which Achior spoke in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

10 Therefore, O lord and governor, reject not his word, but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true; for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, unless they sin against their God.

11 And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrated in his purpose, even death hath now fallen upon them and their sin hath overtaken them, by which they will provoke their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be done.
