Judith 16:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Her dainty sandal caught his eye;
    her beauty captured his heart.
Then the sword slashed through his neck.
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.
