Judith

Judith 11:2

καὶ νῦν ὁ λαός σου ὁ κατοικῶν τὴν ὀρεινήν, εἰ μὴ ἐφαύλισάν με, οὐκ ἂν ᾖρα τὸ δόρυ μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, ἀλλ᾿ αὐτοὶ ἑαυτοῖς ἐποίησαν ταῦτα.
King James Version (KJV)

Now therefore, if thy people that dwelleth in the mountains had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my spear against them: but they have done these things to themselves.

Modern English

If your people living in the hill country had not treated me with contempt, I would never have raised my spear against them — they have brought this on themselves.
