Judith 9:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 As a result, you turned over their rulers
to be slaughtered,
and you covered with their blood
the bed that they had defiled with their treachery.
You struck down slaves as well as their princes,
even princes as they sat on their thrones.
4 You handed over their wives as booty
and sent their daughters into captivity,
and all the spoils you apportioned among your beloved sons
who had burned with zeal for you
and who in their abhorrence at the defilement of their kinswoman
called on you for help.
5 “O God, my God,
heed also the prayer of a widow.
You were the source of these events
and those that occurred before and those that followed.
You have planned what is happening now
and what will occur in the future.
Whatever you devise comes to pass.
