Judith 2:6

Judith 2:6 Context

³Then they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth. ⁴And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him. ⁵Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand. ⁶And thou shalt go against all the west country, because they disobeyed my commandment. ⁷And thou shalt declare unto that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them: ⁸So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow: ⁹And I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.
