Judith 16:6-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. He told himself that he would set fire to my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, to give my children into plunder and my virgins into captivity.

7. But the almighty Lord has harmed him, and he has delivered him into the hands of a woman, and he has pierced him through.

8. For their powerful one did not fall by young men, nor did the sons of Titan strike him, nor did lofty giants set themselves against him, but Judith, the daughter of Merari, dissolved him with the splendor of her face.
