Judith 8:32-34

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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