Judith 10:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army.

¹⁴ And when the men had heard her words, they beheld her face, and their eyes were amazed, for they wondered exceedingly at her beauty.

¹⁵ And they said to her: Thou hast saved thy life by taking this resolution, to come down to our lord.
