1 Maccabees 2:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And Mattathias said, Woe to me! whereto am I born, for to see the destroying [or (the) constriction] of my people, and the defouling (or the defiling) of the holy city, and for to sit there, when it is given into the hands of (our) enemies? Holy things be made in the hand of strangers (The Temple is given into the hands of strangers);

⁸ the temple thereof (is) as a man unnoble;

⁹ (the) vessels of glory thereof be led away captive. Eld men thereof be slain in (the) streets [or Old men be slain in streets thereof], and young men thereof fell down by (the) sword of (the) enemies.
