21. For he will bestow fire and worms on their flesh, so that they may burn and have sensations without ceasing."
22. And it happened that, after these things, all the people came to Jerusalem after the victory, to adore the Lord. And as soon as they were purified, they all offered holocausts, and vows, and their promises.
23. Moreover, Judith offered all the implements of war from Holofernes, which the people gave to her, and the canopy that she had taken away from his chamber, as an anathema unto oblivion.
24. But the people were cheerful before the face of the sanctuary, and for three months the gladness of this victory was celebrated with Judith.
25. And after those days, each one returned to his own house, and Judith became great in Bethulia, and she had great splendor in all the land of Israel.
26. For chastity was one with her virtue, so that she did not know man all the days of her life, after the passing away of her husband, Manasseh.
27. And then, on feast days, she came forth with great glory.
28. But she remained in her husband's house for one hundred and five years, and she set her handmaid free. And she passed away and was buried with her husband in Bethulia.
29. And all the people mourned her, for seven days.
30. And, during all the time of her life, there was no one who disturbed Israel, nor for many years after her death.
31. Moreover, the day of the festivity of this victory was accepted by the Hebrews in the numbering of holy days, and it was religiously observed by the Jews, from that time, even to the present day.
