Judith 16:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 “But the Lord Almighty has foiled them
by the hand of a woman.[a](A)
6 For their mighty one did not fall by the hands of the young men,
nor did the sons of the Titans strike him down,
nor did tall giants set upon him,
but Judith daughter of Merari
with the beauty of her countenance undid him.(B)
7 “For she put away her widow’s clothing
to exalt the oppressed in Israel.
She anointed her face with perfume;(C)
