Judith 9:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ In your anger, use your power to shatter their mighty army. They plan to defile your Temple, where you are worshiped, and to hack off the corners of your altar with their swords. ⁹ Look how proud and boastful they are! Pour out your fury upon them! I am only a widow, but give me the strength to carry out my plan. ¹⁰ Use my deceitful words to strike them all dead, master and slave alike. Let a woman's strength break their pride.
