Judith 16:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 fixed her hair with a diadem,
and put on a linen robe to beguile him.
9 Her sandals ravished his eyes,(A)
her beauty captivated his mind,
the sword cut through his neck!(B)
10 “The Persians trembled at her boldness,
the Medes were daunted at her daring.
