10. And it happened on the fourth day that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and he said to Vagao his eunuch: "Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman to willingly consent to live with me.
11. For it is disgraceful among the Assyrians, if a woman mocks a man, acting so as to pass through with immunity from him."
12. Then Vagao entered toward Judith, and he said, "May she not dread, my good young woman, to enter to my lord, so that she may be honored before his face, so that she may eat with him and drink wine with cheerfulness."
13. Judith answered him: "Who am I, that I should contradict my lord?
14. All that will be good and best before his eyes, I will do. Moreover, whatever will please him, to me, that will be what is best, all the days of my life."
15. And she arose and dressed herself with her garments, and entering, she stood before his face.
16. But the heart of Holofernes was struck. For he was burning with desire for her.
17. And Holofernes said to her, "Drink now, and recline with cheerfulness, for you have found favor before me."
18. And Judith said, "I will drink, my lord, because my soul has been magnified this day, beyond all my days."
