Judith 15:10-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. And when she had gone out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: "You are the glory of Jerusalem, you are the joy of Israel, you are the honor of our people.

11. For you have acted manfully, and your heart has been strengthened. For you loved chastity, and, after your husband, you have not known any other. Therefore, also the hand of the Lord has strengthened you, and, therefore, you will be blessed for all eternity."

12. And all the people said: "Amen. Amen."

13. But all of thirty days were scarcely enough for the people of Israel to collect the spoils of the Assyrians.

14. But moreover, all of those things that were clearly the particular possessions of Holofernes they gave to Judith: with gold, and silver, and garments, and gems, and furniture. And these were all delivered to her by the people.
