And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and
roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and
rebuking her for
her unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard;
But wait thou
here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee,
whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.
What have we
offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest
here in this place?
But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel commanded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs
This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, and whereby thou only art
here lightened.
And I said, Here am I, Lord And I stood up upon my feet.
For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done
hereafter.
And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
And they shall go
stedfastly unto Babylon, and make
her afraid.
They shall come to
her, and
besiege her, the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon
her: then shall the dust and smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about
her shall
bewail her.
And they that remain under her shall do service unto them that have put her in fear.
And thou, Asia, that art
partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of
her person:
Woe be unto thee, thou
wretch, because thou hast made
thyself like unto
her; and hast decked thy daughters in
whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit
whoredom with thee.
Thou hast followed
her that is
hated in all
her works and inventions: therefore saith God,
And the earth shall be laid waste, and the fields thereof shall wax old, and her ways and all her paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel therethrough.
As when a woman with child in the ninth month bringeth forth
her son, with two or three hours of
her birth great pains compass
her womb, which pains, when the child cometh forth, they
slack not a moment:
So shall righteousness
hate iniquity, when she decketh
herself, and shall
accuse her to
her face, when he cometh that shall defend him that
diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.
Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married
Anna of mine own kindred, and of
her I
begat Tobias.
And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid
her wages, and gave
her also besides a
kid.
And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto
her, From whence is this
kid? is it not
stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is
stolen.
But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages.
Howbeit I did not believe
her, but
bade her render it to the owners: and I was
abashed at
her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine
alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.
It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father’s maids;
Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom
Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had
lain with
her.
Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast
strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither
wast thou named after any of them.
Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have
strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
And Raphael was sent to
heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of
Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of
Tobit; and to bind
Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The
selfsame time came
Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from
her upper chamber.
And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead,
bury me; and
despise not thy mother, but honour
her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please
her, and
grieve her not.
Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou
wast in
her womb: and when she is dead,
bury her by me in one grave.
Then said
Tobit to
her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.
The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall
lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for
her, that she may be given thee for a wife.
For to thee
doth the right of
her appertain, seeing thou only art of
her kindred.
And the
maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to
her father; and when we return from Rages we will
celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry
her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance
doth rather
appertain to thee than to any other.
And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto
her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth
her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto
her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to
bury them.
And the devil shall smell it, and
flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to
her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is
merciful, who will have
pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve
her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved
her, and his heart was
effectually joined to
her.
I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto
her: nevertheless for the present be
merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing
here, till we agree and
swear one to another.
Raguel said, Then take
her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art
her cousin, and she is thine, and the
merciful God give you good success in all things.
Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
Which when she had done as he had
bidden her, she brought
her thither: and she
wept, and she received the tears of
her daughter, and said unto
her,
And when they had
supped, they brought Tobias in unto
her.
He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let
her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may
bury him, and no man know it.
But she said, Hold thy peace, and
deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the
daytime, and ceased not whole nights to
bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the
wedding were
expired, which Raguel had
sworn that he should
spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he
kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my
dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may
rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not
entreat her evil.
Now
Anna sat looking about toward the way for
her son.
Then
Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of
her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they
wept both.
But Tobias gave
thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed
her, saying, Thou art
welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
And all
her streets shall say,
Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath
extolled it for ever.
And when
Anna his mother was dead, he buried
her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and
herds, also he
spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and
smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.
Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee.
And Manasses was her husband, of her tribe and kindred, who died in the barley harvest.
So
Judith was a widow in
her house three years and four months.
And she made
her a tent upon the top of
her house, and put on
sackcloth upon
her loins and ware
her widow’s
apparel.
And she fasted all the days of
her widowhood, save the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves of the new moons, and the new moons and the feasts and solemn days of the house of Israel.
She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beautiful to behold: and her husband Manasses had left her gold, and silver, and menservants and maidservants, and cattle, and lands; and she remained upon them.
And there was none that gave her an ill word; as she feared God greatly.
Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.
And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.
Then said Ozias to
her, All that thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that may
gainsay thy words.
Then said Ozias and the princes unto
her, Go in peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take
vengeance on our enemies.
Judith fell upon
her face, and put ashes upon
her head, and uncovered the
sackcloth wherewith she was clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord
Judith cried with a loud voice, and said,
Yea, what things thou
didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are
here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy
foreknowledge.
She rose where she had fallen down, and called
her maid, and went down into the house in the which she abode in the sabbath days, and in
her feast days,
And pulled off the
sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of
her widowhood, and washed
her body all over with water, and
anointed herself with precious
ointment, and
braided the hair of
her head, and put on a
tire upon it, and put on
her garments of
gladness,
wherewith she was
clad during the life of Manasses
her husband.
And she took
sandals upon
her feet, and put about
her her bracelets, and
her chains, and
her rings, and
her earrings, and all
her ornaments, and decked
herself bravely, to
allure the eyes of all men that should see
her.
Then she gave
her maid a
bottle of wine, and a
cruse of oil, and filled a
bag with
parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with fine bread; so she folded all these things together, and laid them upon
her.
And when they saw
her, that
her countenance was altered, and
her apparel was changed, they wondered at
her beauty very greatly, and said unto
her.
And she said unto them, Command the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to
accomplish the things
whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the young men to open unto
her, as she had spoken.
And when they had done so,
Judith went out, she, and
her maid with
her; and the men of the city looked after
her, until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed the valley, and could see
her no more.
Thus they went straight forth in the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,
And took
her, and asked
her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and
whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:
Now when the men heard
her words, and
beheld her countenance, they wondered greatly at
her beauty, and said unto
her,
Then they chose out of them an hundred men to
accompany her and
her maid; and they brought
her to the tent of Holofernes.
Then was there a
concourse throughout all the camp: for
her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about
her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of
her.
And they wondered at
her beauty, and
admired the children of Israel because of
her, and every one said to his neighbour, Who would
despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might
deceive the whole earth.
And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.
So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
And when
Judith was come before him and his servants they all
marvelled at the beauty of
her countenance; and she fell down upon
her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took
her up.
Then said Holofernes unto
her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never
hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.
But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for
safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and
hereafter:
Then
her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants; and they
marvelled at
her wisdom, and said,
Likewise Holofernes said unto her. God hath done well to send thee before the people, that strength might be in our hands and destruction upon them that lightly regard my lord.
Then he commanded to bring
her in where his plate was set; and
bade that they should prepare for
her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.
Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.
Then the servants of Holofernes brought
her into the tent, and she
slept till
midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,
Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.
And when she came out, she
besought the Lord God of Israel to direct
her way to the raising up of the children of
her people.
So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.
For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had
her company; for if we draw
her not unto us, she will
laugh us to
scorn.
Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to
her, and he said, Let not this fair
damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be
merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.
So she arose, and decked
herself with
her apparel and all
her woman’s
attire, and
her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for
her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for
her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.
Now when
Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was
ravished with
her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly
her company; for he waited a time to
deceive her, from the day that he had seen
her.
Then said Holofernes unto
her, Drink now, and be
merry with us.
Then she took and
ate and
drank before him what
her maid had prepared.
And Holofernes took great delight in
her, and
drank more wine than he had
drunk at any time in one day since he was born.
Now
Judith had commanded
her maid to stand without
her bedchamber, and to wait for
her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to
her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
So all went forth and none was left in the
bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then
Judith, standing by his bed, said in
her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the
exaltation of Jerusalem.
