15
For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt
as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
16
For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for

goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the
nearest of her kindred.
25
And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor
a long time after her death.
