1 Maccabees 1:38-40

Revised Standard Version

³⁸ Because of them the residents of Jerusalem fled;
    she became a dwelling of strangers;
she became strange to her offspring,
    and her children forsook her.
³⁹ Her sanctuary became desolate as a desert;
    her feasts were turned into mourning,
her sabbaths into a reproach,
    her honor into contempt.
⁴⁰ Her dishonor now grew as great as her glory;
    her exaltation was turned into mourning.
