1 Maccabees 14:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Each man sat under his vine and his fig tree,
    and there was none to make them afraid.
¹³ No one was left in the land to fight them,
    and the kings were crushed in those days.
¹⁴ He strengthened all the humble of his people;
    he sought out the law,
    and did away with every lawless and wicked man.
