1 Maccabees 2:62-64

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶² Do not fear the words of sinners, for their splendour will turn into dung and worms. ⁶³ Today they will be exalted, but tomorrow they will not be found, because they will have returned to the dust, and their plans will have perished. ⁶⁴ My children, be courageous and grow strong in the law, for by it you will gain honour.
