1 Maccabees 1:37-39
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
37 On every side of the sanctuary they shed innocent blood;
they even defiled the sanctuary.(A)
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 honor into contempt.(B)
