24
And the people were joyful in the sight of the sanctuary, and for three months the joy of this victory was celebrated with Judith.
25
And after those days every man returned to his house, and Judith was made great in Bethulia, and she was most renowned in all the land of Israel.
26
And chastity was joined to her virtue, so that she knew no man all the days of her life, after the death of Manasses her husband.
27
And on festival days she came forth with great glory.
28
And she abode in her husband's house a hundred and five years, and made her handmaid free, and she died, and was buried with her husband in Bethulia.
30
And all the time of her life there was none that troubled Israel, nor many years after her death.
31
But the day of the festivity of this victory is received by the Hebrews in the number of holy days, and is religiously observed by the Jews from that time until this day.
