Judith 13:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And lighting up lights they all gathered round about her: and she went up to a higher place, and commanded silence to be made. And when all had held their peace,

¹⁷ Judith said: Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in him.

¹⁸ And by me his handmaid he hath fulfilled his mercy, which he promised to the house of Israel: and he hath killed the enemy of his people by my hand this night.
