Judith 12:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 It would bring shame on us to be with such a woman without enjoying her. If we do not seduce her, she will laugh at us.”(A)
13 So Bagoas left the presence of Holofernes, and came to Judith and said, “So lovely a maidservant should not be reluctant to come to my lord to be honored by him, to enjoy drinking wine with us, and to act today like one of the Assyrian women who serve in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar.” 14 Judith replied, “Who am I to refuse my lord? Whatever is pleasing to him I will promptly do. This will be a joy[a] for me until the day of my death.”
