Judges 18:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ And when they came to their brethren at Zorah and Esh′ta-ol, their brethren said to them, “What do you report?” ⁹ They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very fertile. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, and enter in and possess the land. ¹⁰ When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is broad; yea, God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”
