1 Maccabees 12:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ We remember you constantly on every occasion—at our festivals and on other appropriate days, at the sacrifices that we offer, and in our prayers—as it is right and proper to remember relatives. ¹² Furthermore, we rejoice at your success.

¹³ As for us, we have experienced many trials and many wars. The kings around us have waged war against us.
