George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 7:17

“We call to witness this day heaven and earth, and the God of our fathers, who taketh vengeance upon us according to our sins, conjuring you to deliver now the city into the hand of the army of Holofernes, that our end may be short by the edge of the sword, which is made longer by the drought of thirst.”

“Conjuring. Greek, “and the sins of our parents, that he may not treat us thus to-day,” and deliver us up to death. (Haydock)”
