1 Maccabees 14:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² Everyone lived in peace among his own grapevines and fig trees, and no one made them afraid. ¹³ In those days all the enemy kings had been defeated, and there was no one left in the land to fight the Jews. ¹⁴ Simon provided help for all the poor among his people, and guided by the Law of Moses, he eliminated all wicked and lawless men.
