"Who are you, Achior, you and all the people bribed by Israel to prophesy against us as you have done today? Why do you counsel us not to make war on the race of Israel because their God will cover them with a shield? Who is God, if not Nebuchadnezzar. He will send out his army and wipe them off the face of the earth and their God will not save them. (Judith 6, 2)
But we, the king's servants, will crush them as though they were just one man. They will not withstand the onslaught of our horses. (Judith 6, 3)
We will burn the whole lot of them in their own homes. Their mountains will be soaked with their blood, their plains will be full of their dead. They will not be able to hold their ground before us. Most surely they will perish, as King Nebuchadnezzar, lord of all the earth, had foretold. He said it and the words he has uttered will not be in vain. (Judith 6, 4)
But you, Achior, an Ammonite mercenary who has today uttered these words to your shame, from now on you will not see my face until I avenge myself on this race who came from Egypt. (Judith 6, 5)
The sword of my soldiers and the lance of my officers will pierce your sides. When I return from battle, your body will be with all the dead of Israel. (Judith 6, 6)
My servants will lead you into the mountain region and will deposit you in one of the towns which are on the slopes, (Judith 6, 7)
so that you will share the same fate as the rest of them. (Judith 6, 8)
