Wersety związane z Judith, 8:

Judite 8 describes how Judith convinced the elders of her city to allow her to leave the city gates to surrender to the Assyrians. She used her wisdom and eloquence to persuade them that this was the only way to save the city. Then she went to the Assyrian camp, where General Holofernes deceived and cut her head, bringing the victory to Israel. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Judite 8:

Proverbs 14:1: "The wise woman builds her home, but the foolish, with her own hands, drops her." This verse emphasizes the importance of wisdom and female intelligence, a quality that Judith has largely demonstrated.

2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, love and balance." This verse reminds us that God gives us the power and courage necessary to face any challenge, just as Judith faced the Assyrian army.

Ecclesiastes 9:10: "Everything you can do, do with all your commitment, because in the grave, where you go, there is no activity or planning, there is no knowledge or wisdom." This verse encourages us to do the best we can in all situations, as Judite did by using all his wisdom and intelligence to save his city.

Philippians 4:13: "I can do everything in him who strengthens me." This verse reminds us that with the strength of God we can overcome any obstacle, just as Judite surpassed the Assyrian army.

Proverbs 16:32: "Better is the Longanic than the brave, and the one who rules his spirit than what a city takes." This verse emphasizes the importance of self -control, a quality that Judith demonstrated in carefully planning and executing his plan with patience and skill.
