1 Maccabees 13:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.

⁷ And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.

⁸ And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.
