Judith 8:19

19 For that cause our fathers were given to the sword and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.

Judith 8:19 In-Context

17 "Therefore let us wait for salvation from Him, and call upon Him to help us, and He will hear our voice if it please Him.

18 For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now in these days, neither tribe, nor family, nor people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been in former time.

19 For that cause our fathers were given to the sword and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.

20 But we know no other god; therefore we trust that He will not despise us nor any of our nation.

21 For if we are so taken, all Judea shall lie waste and our sanctuary shall be despoiled, and He will require the profanation thereof at our mouth.
