1 Maccabees 1:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶     Rulers and elders groaned;
    young women and men became faint.
        The women’s beauty faded.
²⁷     Every bridegroom was saddened,
        and intended brides sat
        mourning in their chambers.
²⁸ Even the land shook for its people,
    and all of Jacob’s house
    was clothed with shame.
