15. For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, And the rocks shall melt as wax at your presence: But you are yet merciful to them that fear you.
16. For all sacrifice is little for a sweet savor, And all the fat is very little for a whole burnt offering to you: But he that fears the Lord is great continually.
17. Woe to the nations that rise up against my race: The Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgement, To put fire and worms in their flesh; And they shall weep and feel their pain for ever.
18. Now when they came to Jerusalem, they worshipped God; and when the people were purified, they offered their whole burnt offerings, and their free will offerings, and their gifts.
19. And Judith dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken for herself out of his bedchamber, for a gift to the Lord.
20. And the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months, and Judith remained with them.
21. But after these days every one departed to his own inheritance, and Judith went away to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was honorable in her time in all the land.
22. And many desired her, and no man knew her all the days of her life, from the day that Manasses her husband died and was gathered to his people.
23. And she increased in greatness exceedingly; and she waxed old in her husband’s house, to a hundred and five years, and let her maid go free: and she died in Bethulia; and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
24. And the house of Israel mourned for her seven days: and she distributed her goods before she died to all them that were nearest of kin to Manasses her husband, and to them that were nearest of her own kindred.
25. And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.
