Judith 13:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ She then took the head out of the food bag and showed it to the people.
Here, she said,
is the head of Holofernes, the general of the Assyrian army, and here is the mosquito net from his bed, where he lay in a drunken stupor. The Lord used a woman to kill him. ¹⁶ As the Lord lives, I swear that Holofernes never touched me, although my beauty deceived him and brought him to his ruin. I was not defiled or disgraced; the Lord took care of me through it all.

¹⁷ Everyone in the city was utterly amazed. They bowed down and worshiped God, praying together,
    Our God, you are worthy of great praise. Today you have triumphed over the enemies of your people.
