Judith 9:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² O Lord God of my father Simeon, who gavest him a sword to execute vengeance against strangers, who had defiled by their uncleanness, and uncovered the virgin unto confusion:

³ And who gavest their wives to be made a prey, and their daughters into captivity: and all their spoils to be divided to thy servants, who were zealous with thy zeal: assist, I beseech thee, O Lord God, me a widow.

⁴ For thou hast done the things of old, and hast devised one thing after another: and what thou hast designed hath been done.
