10 She anointed her face with ointment,and she gathered the locks of her hair with a headdress;she accepted a new dress in order to deceive him.
11 Her sandals ravished his eyes;her beauty made his soul her captive;with a blade, she cut off his head.
12 The Persians were horrified at her constancy,and the Medes at her boldness.
13 Then the camp of the Assyrians howled,when my humble ones appeared, parched with thirst.
