In context
8For she put off the garment of her widowhood For the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, And anointed her face with ointment, And bound her hair in a tire, And took a linen garment to deceive him.
9Her sandals ravished his eyes, Her beauty took his mind prisoner, And the falchion passed through his neck.
— Judith 16:10 —
11Then my afflicted shouted for joy, And my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: These lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
12The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, And wounded them as fugitives’ children: They perished by the battle of my Lord.
