1 Maccabees 3:5 CPDV

³  And he expanded the glory of his people, and he clothed himself with a breastplate like a giant, and he surrounded himself his weapons of war in battles, and he protected the camp with his sword.

⁴  In his actions, he became like a lion, and like a young lion roaring in the hunt.

⁵  And he pursued the wicked and tracked them down. And those who disturbed his people, he burned with fire.

⁶  And his enemies were repelled by the fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled. And salvation was well-directed in his hand.

⁷  And he provoked many kings, and he gave joy to Jacob by his works, and his memory will be a blessing for all generations.
