1 Maccabees 1:38-40
Common English Bible
38 Because of them,
those who lived in Jerusalem fled.
The city became
a dwelling place for strangers.
She was like a stranger to her offspring,
and her children abandoned her.
39 Her sanctuary was as barren as a desert.
Her feasts turned into mourning,
her sabbaths into shame,
her honor into contempt.
40 Her dishonor became as great
as her glory had been.
Her joy turned into sadness.
