15
For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters; the rocks shall melt as wax at Thy presence; yet Thou art merciful to them that fear Thee.
16
For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savor unto Thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for Thy burnt offering; but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
17
"Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! The Lord Almighty will take vengeance on them in the day of judgment, by putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever."
18
Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshiped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings and their free offerings and their gifts.
19
Judith also dedicated all the possessions of Holofernes which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, as a gift unto the Lord.
20
So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months, and Judith remained with them.
21
After this time, every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained on her own possession, and was in her time honorable in all the country.
22
And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life after Manasseh her husband was dead and was gathered to his people.
23
But she increased more and more in honor, and waxed old in her husband's house, being a hundred and five years old, and made her maid free. So she died in Bethulia; and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasseh,
24
and the house of Israel lamented her seven days. And before she died, she distributed her goods to all those who were nearest of kindred to Manasseh her husband, and to those who were the nearest of her kindred.
25
And there were none who made the children of Israel afraid any more in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.
