Judith 8:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ She was very beautiful and lovely to stare at. Her husband Manasseh left her gold and silver, male and female slaves, cattle, and fields, which she continued to oversee. ⁸ And no one had a bad word to say about her, for she revered God greatly.

Judith speaks to the elders

⁹ Judith heard the people’s harsh words against the ruler, for they were growing weak from the lack of water. Judith also heard everything that Uzziah told them, how he promised to surrender the city to the Assyrians in five days.
