4. Asshur came out of the mountains from the north, He came with ten thousands of his host, The multitude whereof stopped the torrents, And their horsemen covered the hills.
5. He said that he would burn up my borders, And kill my young men with the sword, And throw my sucking children to the ground, And give mine infants for a prey, And make my virgins a spoil.
6. The Almighty Lord brought them to nothing by the hand of a woman.
7. For their mighty one did not fall by young men, Neither did sons of the Titans strike him. Nor did high giants set upon him: But Judith the daughter of Merari made him weak with the beauty of her countenance.
8. For she put off the apparel of her widowhood For the exaltation of those that were distressed in Israel, She anointed her face with ointment, And bound her hair in a tire, And took a linen garment to deceive him.
9. Her sandal ravished his eye, And her beauty took his soul prisoner: The scimitar passed through his neck.
