Jdt 13:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And Judith stood before the bed praying with tears, and the motion of her lips in silence,”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900
1849
A.D.
George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Judith. She seems not to have disclosed her secret even to her companion, taking the whole upon herself. — Lips. Greek, “in her heart.” (Calmet) — Yet the Jews generally use some words, (Haydock) thinking that prayer too cold, which is barely mental. (Grotius)”

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
