1 Maccabees 1:38-40

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁸ Because of them the residents of Jerusalem fled;
    she became a dwelling of strangers;
she became strange to her offspring,
    and her children forsook her.
³⁹ Her sanctuary became desolate like a desert;
    her feasts were turned into mourning,
her sabbaths into a reproach,
    her honour into contempt.
⁴⁰ Her dishonour now grew as great as her glory;
    her exaltation was turned into mourning.
