Judith 15:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ When the Israelites returned from the slaughter, they took what was left behind. Even the villages and farms in the highlands and the plain received large portions of the spoils, because there was plenty to go around.

⁸ At that time Joakim the high priest and the council of the Israelites who lived in Jerusalem came to witness the good things that the Lord had done for Israel, to see Judith, and to wish her well. ⁹ When they came to her, they joined together in blessing her and said, “You are the glory of Jerusalem; you are the great pride of Israel; you are the high honor of our nation.
