Judith 10:21

In context

19They marveled at her beauty, and because of her they marveled at the Israelites, and each said to the man beside him: “Who could look down on a people that has women like this among them? It is not good to leave a single one of their men alive: turned loose, they would be able to outwit the whole earth.” 20Then the men who slept beside Holofernes came out, and all his attendants, and they led her into the tent. 21Holofernes was resting on his bed under a canopy woven of purple and gold and emerald and costly stones. 22They announced her to him, and he came out to the front of the tent with silver lamps carried before him. 23When Judith stood face to face with him and with his attendants, they all marveled at the beauty of her face. She fell on her face and bowed to him, and his slaves lifted her up.
