Judith 16:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 He threatened to set my country aflame
and put my young men to the sword,
dash my infants to the ground,
seize my children as booty,
and carry off my virgins as spoil.
5 “But the Lord Almighty has thwarted them
by the hand of a woman.
6 For their mighty one was not brought low by young men;
no titans[a] struck him down,
nor did tall giants assault him.
But Judith, the daughter of Merari,
overcame him by the beauty of her face.
