Judith 13:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ And when she had said this, she went to the pillar that was at his bed's head, and loosed his sword that hung tied upon it.

⁹ And when she had drawn it out, she took him by the hair of his head, and said: Strengthen me, O Lord God, at this hour.

¹⁰ And she struck twice upon his neck, and cut off his head, and took off his canopy from the pillars, and rolled away his headless body.
