JDT 7:17

17 We call into witnessing today [[or We take to witness today]] heaven and earth, and the God of our fathers, that punisheth us after our sins, that now ye betake this city into the hands of the chivalry of Holofernes, and that our end be made short in the sharpness of sword, which end is now made longer in the dryness [[or the drought]] of thirst.
