Judith 9:4
You handed over their women as booty and their daughters as prisoners. You gave all of their property to be divided up among your dearly loved children, who burned with holy zeal for you and hated the pollution of their blood, and called on you for help. God, my God, also hear me—a widow.
For thou hast done the things of old, and hast devised one thing after another: and what thou hast designed hath been done.
You let their wives be carried off, their daughters taken captive, and their possessions plundered by the Israelites, your chosen people, who were eager to do your will. Dinah's brothers were furious because of this disgrace to their family, so they called on you for help. O my God, listen to my prayer, the prayer of a widow.
Their wives you handed over to plunder, and their daughters to captivity, and all the spoils you divided among your favored children, who burned with zeal for you and in their abhorrence of the defilement of their blood called on you for help. O God, my God, hear me also, a widow.
You handed over their wives as booty and sent their daughters into captivity, and all the spoils you apportioned among your beloved sons who had burned with zeal for you and who in their abhorrence at the defilement of their kinswoman called on you for help.
You gave up their wives for booty and their daughters to captivity, and all their booty to be divided among your beloved children who burned with zeal for you and abhorred the pollution of their blood and called on you for help. O God, my God, hear me also, a widow.
