15 Judg 5.4; 2 Sam 22.8, 16; Ps 68.2; Isa 64.3 For the mountains shall be shaken to their foundations with the waters;
before your glance the rocks shall melt like wax.
But to those who fear you

16 Sir 10.24; 25.10; Eph 5.2 For every sacrifice as a fragrant offering is a small thing,
and the fat of all whole burnt offerings to you is a very little thing,
but whoever fears the Lord is great forever.
17 Isa 66.24; Sir 7.17; Mk 9.48; 2 Pet 3.7 “Woe to the nations that rise up against my people!
The Lord Almighty will take vengeance on them in the day of judgment;
he will send fire and worms into their flesh;
they shall weep in pain forever.”
18When they arrived at Jerusalem, they worshiped God. As soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, their freewill offerings, and their gifts.
19Jdt 10.21; 13.9, 15; 15.11Judith also dedicated to God all the possessions of Holofernes that the people had given her, and the canopy that she had taken for herself from his bedchamber she gave as a votive offering.

24Gen 50.10; 1 Sam 31.13; Sir 22.12and the house of Israel mourned her for seven days. Before she died she distributed her property to all those who were next of kin to her husband Manasseh and to her own nearest kindred.
