Judith 5:9-12 World English Bible (WEB)

9. And their God commanded them to depart from the place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of Canaan: and they lived there, and were increased with gold and silver, and with exceeding much cattle.

10. And they went down into Egypt, for a famine covered all the land of Canaan; and there they sojourned, until they were grown up; and they became there a great multitude, so that one could not count their nation.

11. And the king of Egypt rose up against them, and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low, making them to labor in brick, and made them slaves.

12. And they cried to their God, and he struck all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: and the Egyptians cast them out of their sight.
