1 Maccabees 8:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ But if there come first any war upon the Romans, or any of their confederates, in all their dominions:

²⁵ The nation of the Jews shall help them according as the time shall direct, with all their heart:

²⁶ Neither shall they give them, whilst they are fighting, or furnish them with wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall obey their orders, without taking any thing of them.
