At that time Joakim the high priest and the council of the Israelites who lived in Jerusalem came to witness the good things that the Lord had done for Israel, to see Judith, and to wish her well.

When they came to her, they joined together in blessing her and said, "You are the glory of Jerusalem; you are the great pride of Israel; you are the high honor of our nation.
10
You've done all these things with your own hand. You've done well for Israel, and God is pleased with these things. May you be forever blessed by the Lord Almighty!" And all the people said, "Amen!"

The people plundered the camp for thirty days, and they gave Holofernes' tent to Judith, including the silver plates, the beds, the bowls, and all of his furniture. She took it all, loaded up her mule, then hitched up her carts and filled them up as well.

All the women of Israel gathered together to see her. They blessed her, and some performed a dance for her. Then Judith took wands wrapped with ivy in her hands and gave them to the women who were with her.
