Judith 16:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ The Persians trembled at her daring;
    the Medes were amazed at her bravery.
¹¹ Then our people shouted in victory.
    They had been weak and oppressed,
    but they forced the enemy to retreat in panic and fear.
¹² We are the descendants of slaves,
    but our enemies turned and ran;
    we killed them like runaway slaves.
They were destroyed by the army of the Lord.
