Jdt 15:11 | CPDV | STEP | For you have acted manfully, and your heart has been strengthened. For you loved chastity, and, after your husband, you have not known any other. Therefore, also the hand of the Lord has strengthened you, and, therefore, you will be blessed for all eternity.”

‏ Judith 15:11

11 For you have acted manfully, and your heart has been strengthened. For you loved chastity, and, after your husband, you have not known any other. Therefore, also the hand of the Lord has strengthened you, and, therefore, you will be blessed for all eternity.” ^{▼▼15:11The praise given to Judith in the Scriptures is really praise for the Virgin Mary. For Judith is a mere foreshadowing of Mary. It may seem as if Judith is praised excessively, but the full meaning is praise for the Mother of God.(Conte)}
