Judith 16:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 She took off her widow’s garb
to raise up the afflicted in Israel.
She anointed her face with fragrant oil;
8 fixed her hair with a diadem,
and put on a linen robe to beguile him.
9 Her sandals ravished his eyes,(A)
her beauty captivated his mind,
the sword cut through his neck!(B)
