1 Maccabees 6:25-27

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ And not only to us they stretched out the hand, but and into all our coasts.

²⁶ And lo! they applied today to the high tower in Jerusalem, for to occupy it, and they strengthened a strengthening in Bethsura. (And lo! today they encamped at, or they besieged the high tower in Jerusalem, to occupy it; and they have strengthened the sanctuary and Bethsura.)

²⁷ And if thou shalt not before come them more swiftly, they shall do greater things than these, and thou shalt not be able to wield them.
