Judith 9 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Judith 9The Prayer of Judith

1 to defile her and exposed her thighs to put her to shame and profaned her womb to disgrace her, for you said, ‘It shall not be done’—yet they did it,

3so you gave up their rulers to be killed, and their bed, which was ashamed of the deceit they had practiced, was stained with blood, and you struck down slaves along with princes and princes on their thrones.

4 of your altar with the sword.

9Look at their pride, and send your wrath upon their heads. Give to me, a widow, the strong hand to do what I plan.

10Judg 4.9, 21; Jdt 12.8; 16.5By the deceit of my lips strike down the slave with the prince and the prince with his attendant; crush their arrogance by the hand of a woman.

11 2 Chr 14.11; 16.8 “For your strength does not depend on numbers nor your might on the powerful. But you are the God of the lowly, helper of the oppressed, upholder of the weak, protector of the forsaken, savior of those without hope.

12Jdt 13.18Please, please, God of my father, God of the heritage of Israel, Lord of heaven and earth, Creator of the waters, King of all your creation, hear my prayer!

13Make my deceitful words bring wound and bruise on those who have planned cruel things against your covenant and against your sacred house and against Mount Zion and against the house your children possess.

14Jdt 13.4Let your whole nation and every tribe know and understand that you are God, the God of all power and might, and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel but you alone!”
