Judith 9:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Look how proud and boastful they are! Pour out your fury upon them! I am only a widow, but give me the strength to carry out my plan. ¹⁰ Use my deceitful words to strike them all dead, master and slave alike. Let a woman's strength break their pride. ¹¹ Your power does not depend on the size and strength of an army. You are a God who cares for the humble and helps the oppressed. You give support and protection to people who are weak and helpless; you save those who have lost hope.
