Judith 10:4-6
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
4 And she put sandals on her feet, and put on her anklets and bracelets and rings, and her earrings and all her ornaments,[a] and made herself very beautiful, to entice the eyes of all men who might see her. 5 And she gave her maid a bottle of wine and a flask of oil, and filled a bag with parched grain and a cake of dried fruit and fine bread; and she wrapped up all her vessels and gave them to her to carry.
6 Then they went out to the city gate of Bethu′lia, and found Uzzi′ah standing there with the elders of the city, Chabris and Charmis.
