Judith 5:13-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. In that place, when an innumerable army of the Egyptians pursued after them, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that not even one remained to report to posterity what had happened.

14. In truth, going forth from the Red Sea, they occupied the deserts of mount Sinai, in which man could never dwell, nor a son of man take rest.

15. In that place, bitter fountains became sweet for them to drink, and, through forty years, they continued to receive provisions from heaven.

16. And, although they had entered without bow and arrow, and without shield and sword, their God fought on their behalf and was victorious.

17. And there was no one who could attack this people, except when they withdrew from the worship of the Lord their God.
