1 Maccabees 3:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.

⁵ And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire:

⁶ And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand.
