Judith 16:28-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. But she remained in her husband's house for one hundred and five years, and she set her handmaid free. And she passed away and was buried with her husband in Bethulia.

29. And all the people mourned her, for seven days.

30. And, during all the time of her life, there was no one who disturbed Israel, nor for many years after her death.

31. Moreover, the day of the festivity of this victory was accepted by the Hebrews in the numbering of holy days, and it was religiously observed by the Jews, from that time, even to the present day.
