Verse im Zusammenhang mit Judith, 6:

Judite 6 reports the meeting of the rulers of neighboring cities to Israel to discuss the war that was taking place. They decided to unite their strength to attack Israel, but first summoned the leader of the Israelites, Uzziah, to convince him to surrender. Uzziah responded boldly, reminding the rulers the protection God gives to his people and refusing to give in. Based on this context, below is five verses related to the theme addressed in Judite 6:

Psalm 124:2-3: "If the Lord were not by our side when the enemies attacked us, they would have swallowed us alive, such was the fury they had against us." This psalm reflects the confidence of the Israelites in the protection of God in times of war.

Deuteronomy 20:1-4: "When you go to the war against your enemies and come horses and war cars, a greater army than yours, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord, your God, who took them from Egypt , it's with you. " This verse encourages the Israelites not to be afraid in battle, reminding them of God's presence in their lives.

Joshua 23:10: "One man of you makes a thousand run away, for the Lord, your God, fights for you, as you promised." This verse also reinforces the idea that God's presence can guarantee victory in battle, even when probabilities seem to be against Israel.

Exodus 15:3: "The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name." This verse celebrates the warrior nature of God, reminding us that he is always ready to fight for his people.

2 Chronicles 14:11: "O Lord, there is no one like you to help the weak against the mighty. Help us, O Lord our God, for in you our trust, and in your name we came against this immense army. O Lord, you are our God; that no man prevails against you. " This verse offers a prayer of trust to God in times of war, reminding us that our security comes from putting our trust in God.





“Onde não há obediência, não há virtude. Onde não há virtude, não há bem, não há amor; e onde não há amor, não há Deus; e sem Deus não se chega ao Paraíso. Tudo isso é como uma escada: se faltar um degrau, caímos”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
