He bragged that he would
burn my territory,
    kill my young men with the sword,
    throw my infants to the ground,
    take my children as slaves,
    and rape my virgins.
But the Lord Almighty overthrew them by the hand of a woman.[a]
    Their leader didn’t fall to his knees because of young men,
    nor did the sons of the Titans
    strike him down,
    nor did the tall giants assault him.
But Judith, Merari’s daughter,
paralyzed him with her beauty.
