Judith 9:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Take note of their arrogance
    and bring down your wrath on their heads.
Give me, a widow,
    the strength of hand to accomplish my plan.
^10 [a]By the guile of my lips
    strike down the slave together with the master,
    the ruler together with the servant.
Shatter their arrogance
    by the hand of a woman.
¹¹ “Your strength does not lie in numbers
    nor does your power depend upon strong men.
You are the God of the lowly,
    the helper of the oppressed,
the support of the weak,
    the protector of the forsaken,
    the savior of those who have lost all hope.
