Judith 9:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. Act, O Lord, so that his arrogance may be cut off with his own sword.

13. Let him be seized by the snare of his own eyes in my regard, and may you strike him by the attraction of my lips.

14. Give me constancy in my soul, so that I may hold him in contempt, and give me virtue, so that I may overthrow him.

15. For this will be a memorial to your name, when he will be overthrown by the hand of a woman.
