Judith 16:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷“For she put away her widow’s clothing
    to exalt the oppressed in Israel.
She anointed her face with perfume;^(A)
⁸    she fastened her hair with a tiara
    and put on a linen gown to beguile him.^(B)
⁹Her sandal ravished his eyes,
    her beauty captivated his mind,
    and the sword severed his neck!^(C)
