1 Maccabees 2:62-64

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶² And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung, and worms:

⁶³ To day he is lifted up, and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth; and his thought is come to nothing.

⁶⁴ You therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious.
