Judith 13:21-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. Confess everything to him, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation."

22. Then everyone adored the Lord, and they said to her, "The Lord has blessed you by his power, because, through you, he has reduced our enemies to nothing."

23. Furthermore, Uzziah, the leader of the people of Israel, said to her: "O daughter, you have been blessed by the Lord, the most high God, above all the women on earth.

24. Blessed is the Lord, who made heaven and earth, who has guided you in harming the head of the leader of our enemies.

25. For he has so magnified your name this day, that your praise will not retire from the mouth of men, who will be mindful of the power of the Lord forever, because you have risked your life for the sake of the distress and tribulation of your people, and you have prevented our ruin before the sight of our God."
