5 But the Lord Almighty overthrew them by the hand of a woman.
6 Their leader didn’t fall to his knees because of young men,nor did the sons of the Titansstrike him down,nor did the tall giants assault him.But Judith, Merari’s daughter,paralyzed him with her beauty.
7 She took off her widow’s clothingto lift up the oppressed in Israel.She put perfume on her face,
8 tied a headband around her hair,and put on a linen gown to trick him.
9 Her sandal captured his eyes;her beauty captured his heart,and the sword sliced through his neck.
10 The Persians trembled at her daring,and the Medes were troubledby her boldness.
11 Then my humbled ones shouted loudly;my weak ones cried out,they lifted up their voices,and the enemies were overthrown.
