Judith 16:7

Listen to Judith 16:7

Judith 16:7 In-Context

5 He boasted that he would burn up my territory, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash my infants to the ground and seize my children as prey, and take my virgins as booty.
6 But the Lord Almighty has foiled them by the hand of a woman.
7 For their mighty one did not fall by the hands of the young men, nor did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor did tall giants set upon him; but Judith the daughter of Merari undid him with the beauty of her countenance.
8 For she took off her widow's mourning to exalt the oppressed in Israel. She anointed her face with ointment and fastened her hair with a tiara and put on a linen gown to deceive him.
9 Her sandal ravished his eyes, her beauty captivated his mind, and the sword severed his neck.
