Judith 11:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Moreover, now also a famine has assailed them, and, by drought of water, they are already counted among the dead.

11. And finally, they have a plan to put to death their herds, and to drink their blood.

12. And the sacred things of the Lord their God, which God instructed them not to touch, among the grain, wine, and oil, these they have decided to expend, and they are willing to consume the things that they ought not to touch with their hands. Therefore, because they do these things, it is certain that they will be given over to perdition.

13. And I, your maidservant, knowing this, have fled from them, and the Lord has sent me to report to you these same things.
