Judith 15:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ The entire populace looted the camp for thirty days. They presented Judith with the tent of Holofernes, all his silver dinnerware, his beds, his drinking vessels, and all his furniture. She accepted these gifts, harnessed her mules, hitched them to her wagons, and loaded the gifts on them.

¹² All the women of Israel gathered to see her. They sang her praises and performed a dance in her honor. She took branches of ivy^[a] in her hands and distributed them among the women around her, ¹³ while she and those women crowned themselves with olive wreaths. Then, at the head of the procession, she led the women as they danced, while the men of Israel, in full armor, followed them, wearing garlands and singing hymns.
