Judith 12:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ So Holofer′nes commanded his guards not to hinder her. And she remained in the camp for three days, and went out each night to the valley of Bethu′lia, and bathed at the spring in the camp.^{[a] 8} When she came up from the spring she prayed the Lord God of Israel to direct her way for the raising up of her people. ⁹ So she returned clean and stayed in the tent until she ate her food toward evening.
