Judith 12:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Judith said to him, “As surely as you live, my master, your slave woman won’t use up what she brought, before the Lord accomplishes by my hand what he has determined.”

⁵ Then Holofernes’ attendants led her into the tent, and she slept there until the middle of the night. She got up when it was the first watch of the morning ⁶ and sent word to Holofernes, saying, “Please, my master, issue an order permitting your servant to go out and pray.”
