Judith 16:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴He boasted that he would burn up my territory,
    and kill my young men with the sword,
and dash my infants to the ground,
    and seize my children as booty,
    and take my virgins as spoil.

⁵But the Lord Almighty has foiled them
    by the hand of a woman.^[a]
⁶For 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.
