Judith 8:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 For there has not risen among us in recent generations, nor does there exist today, any tribe, or clan, or district, or city of ours that worships gods made by hands, as happened in former days.(A) 19 It was for such conduct that our ancestors were handed over to the sword and to pillage, and fell with great destruction before our enemies.(B) 20 But since we acknowledge no other god but the Lord, we hope that he will not disdain us or any of our people.
