Judith 8:32-34

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³² Judith said to them, “Listen to me. I am about to do a thing which will go down through all generations of our descendants. ³³ Stand at the city gate tonight, and I will go out with my maid; and within the days after which you have promised to surrender the city to our enemies, the Lord will deliver Israel by my hand. ³⁴ Only, do not try to find out what I plan; for I will not tell you until I have finished what I am about to do.”
