Judith 16:8 Context
6But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman. 7For the mighty one did not fall by the yong men, neither did the sonnes of the Titans smite him, nor high gyants set vpon him: but Iudeth the daughter of Merari weakned him with the beautie of her countenance. 8For she put off the garment of her widowhood, for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with oyntment, & bound her haire in a tyre, and tooke a linnen garment to deceiue him. 9Her sandals rauished his eyes, her beautie tooke his minde prisoner, and the fauchin passed through his necke. 10The Persians quaked at her boldnesse, and the Medes were daunted at her hardinesse.
