Judith 8:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ But you are a God-fearing woman. Therefore, pray for us now, petitioning the Lord to send rain to fill our cisterns so that we shall no longer be faint with thirst.”

³² “Listen to me,” Judith said to them. “I intend to do something that will be remembered by our descendants through all future generations. ³³ Be present at the town gate tonight to let me go out with my maid. Before the days have ended that have been designated by you to surrender the town to our enemies, the Lord will deliver Israel by my hand.
