1Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king.
2And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them.
3But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us?
4And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing.
