26Now therefore call them vnto you, and deliuer the whole citie for a spoile to the people of Olofernes, and to all his armie. 27For it is better for vs to be made a spoile vnto them, then to die for thirst: for wee will be his seruants, that our soules may liue, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wiues nor our children to die. 28We take to witnesse against you, the heauen and the earth, and our God, and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth vs according to our sinnes, and the sinnes of our fathers, that hee doe not according as we haue said this day. 29Then there was great weeping with one consent in the middest of the assembly, and they cryed vnto the Lord God with a loude voice. 30Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let vs yet endure fiue dayes, in the which space the Lord our God may turne his mercy toward vs, for he will not forsake vs vtterly.
