Judith 16:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 For their mighty one was not brought low by young men;
no titans[a] struck him down,
nor did tall giants assault him.
But Judith, the daughter of Merari,
overcame him by the beauty of her face.
7 She laid aside her widow’s garb
to raise up the oppressed in Israel.
She anointed her face with perfume,
8 bound up her hair with a fillet,
and donned a linen gown to beguile him.
