1 Maccabees 2:61-63

Good News Translation

     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. ⁶³ Today he may be highly honored, but tomorrow he will disappear; his body will return to the earth and his scheming will come to an end.
