Judith 15:9–10
The honor of our people
10 And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:
11 For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever.

Why this matters
The people honor Judith after deliverance. Catholic Marian liturgy applies language of honor to Mary by analogy. The words concern Judith in their narrative setting.
