Judith 8:31-33

Good News Translation

     ³¹ So now, since you are a deeply religious woman, pray for our people; ask the Lord to send rain to fill our cisterns, so that we can get our strength back.

³² All right, Judith replied,
I am going to do something which our Jewish people will never forget. ³³ Tonight, the three of you must stand guard at the gate so that my slave woman and I can leave the town. And before the day comes on which you have promised to surrender, the Lord will use me to rescue the people of Israel.
