Judith 16:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹Her sandal ravished his eyes,
    her beauty captivated his mind,
    and the sword severed his neck!
¹⁰The Persians trembled at her boldness,
    the Medes were daunted at her daring.

¹¹Then my oppressed people shouted;
my weak people cried out,^[a] and the enemy^[b] trembled;
they lifted up their voices, and the enemy^[c] were turned back.
