Judith 10:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Holofernes was relaxing on his bed under a canopy made from purple and gold cloth woven with emeralds and precious stones. ²² When they told him about her, he went out to the front of the tent with silver lamps being carried before him. ²³ As Judith came before him and his servants, they were all amazed by the beauty of her face. She fell to the ground before him and paid him respect, but his slaves raised her up.
