1 Maccabees 14:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Every one sat under his vine and fig tree,
with no one to disturb them.(A)
13 No attacker was left in the land;
the kings in those days were crushed.
14 He strengthened all the lowly among his people
and was zealous for the law;
he destroyed the lawless and the wicked.
