1 Maccabees 2:62-64

New Catholic Bible

⁶² Do not fear the words of sinful people,
    for their glory will turn to dung and worms.
⁶³ Today they are exalted, but tomorrow they are nowhere to be found
    because they have returned to the dust,
    and their grandiose schemes have come to naught.
⁶⁴ My children, draw your courage and strength from the law,
    for through it glory will be yours.
