1 Maccabees 3:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ He hunted and pursued
those who broke the Law.
    He burned up
    those who troubled his people.
⁶ Lawbreakers were afraid of him
and retreated.
    All evildoers were in turmoil.
        His hand successfully
        brought deliverance.
⁷ He angered many kings,
    but he brought joy to Jacob by his deeds.
        His memory is blessed forever.
