1 Maccabees 2:10-15
-
10 What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?
-
11 All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.
-
12 And, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it.
-
13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer?
-
14 Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.
-
15 In the mean while the king's officers, such as compelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them sacrifice.
