Judith 13:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ She went up to the bedpost near Holofernes’ head, and took down his sword that hung there. ⁷ She came close to his bed, took hold of the hair of his head, and said, ‘Give me strength today, O Lord God of Israel!’ ⁸ Then she struck his neck twice with all her might, and cut off his head.
