1 Maccabees 2:60-62

Good News Translation

     ^60 (A)Daniel was a man of integrity, and the Lord rescued him from the mouth of the lions. ⁶¹ Take each of these ancestors of ours as an example, and you will realize that no one who puts his trust in the Lord will ever lack strength. ⁶² Don't be afraid of the threats of a wicked man. Remember that he will die and all his splendor will end with worms feeding on his decaying body.
