1 Maccabees 2:61-63
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
61 And so, consider this from generation to generation,
that none who hope in Heaven shall fail in strength.
62 Do not fear the words of sinners,
for their glory ends in corruption and worms.(A)
63 Today exalted, tomorrow not to be found,
they have returned to dust,
their schemes have perished.
