Judith 8:32-36 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

32. Then Judith said to them: “Listen to me! I will perform a deed that will go down from generation to generation among our descendants.

33. Stand at the city gate tonight to let me pass through with my maid; and within the days you have specified before you will surrender the city to our enemies, the Lord will deliver Israel by my hand.

34. You must not inquire into the affair, for I will not tell you what I am doing until it has been accomplished.”

35. Uzziah and the rulers said to her, “Go in peace, and may the Lord God go before you to take vengeance upon our enemies!”

36. Then they withdrew from the tent and returned to their posts.
