1 Maccabees 3:3-5
Common English Bible
3 He advanced the honor of his people.
He put on his breastplate like a giant.
He strapped on his war armor
and waged battles,
protecting the camp with his sword.
4 He was like a lion in his actions,
like a lion’s cub roaring after prey.
5 He hunted and pursued
those who broke the Law.
He burned up
those who troubled his people.
