1 Maccabees 6:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die.

¹⁰ And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety.

¹¹ And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow, wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power!
