Book of Judith

[Searching_For_The_Truth]

I was reading a Catholic Bible about the book of Judith and was wondering what you all think of the following verses

16:16. O Adonai, Lord, great art thou, and glorious in thy power, and no one can overcome thee.

Judith 16: 17-21

16:17. Let all thy creatures serve thee: because thou hast spoken, and they were made: thou didst send forth thy spirit, and they were created, and there is no one that can resist thy voice.

16:18. The mountains shall be moved from the foundations with the waters: the rocks shall melt as wax before thy face.

16:19. But they that fear thee, shall be great with thee in all things.

16:20. Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them.

16:21. For he will give fire, and worms into their flesh, that they may burn, and may feel for ever.

Most of it seemed good, to me, until the last verses.. I'm one that only considers the traditionally 'accepted' books of the Bible.. Some others I've read and the spirit seems different to me.. but that's like the Book of 'Enoch' and the spurious gospels of the 4th century.. which, imo, are outright weird in places..

The traditional books of the Bible seem complete to me, I have no further questions which are not answered in them.. I'm also a literalist, although I don't discount allegory and metaphor especially as I believe all of life is a metaphor..

God bless!  :smile:
