Judith 12:12

Listen to Judith 12:12
12 It would be a shame for us to let such a woman go without having sex with her. If we don't reel her in, she'll laugh at us."

Judith 12:12 In-Context

10 On the fourth day Holofernes hosted a party for his closest attendants and didn't send an invitation to anyone besides them.
11 He said to Bagoas the eunuch, who looked after his property, "Go and persuade the Hebrew woman who is in your care to come join us and eat and drink with us.
12 It would be a shame for us to let such a woman go without having sex with her. If we don't reel her in, she'll laugh at us."
13 So Bagoas left Holofernes and went to her and said, "Don't let this pretty female servant delay in coming to my master, to be honored in his presence, to enjoy drinking wine with us, and to become today like one of the Assyrian women who are present in Nebuchadnezzar's house."
14 Then Judith said to him, "Who am I to argue with my master? Whatever pleases him I will do quickly, and it will be my joy until the day I die."
