1 Maccabees 9:44-46

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴⁴ And Jonathan said to those with him, ‘Let us get up now and fight for our lives, for today things are not as they were before. ⁴⁵ For look! the battle is in front of us and behind us; the water of the Jordan is on this side and on that, with marsh and thicket; there is no place to turn. ⁴⁶ Cry out now to Heaven that you may be delivered from the hands of our enemies.’
