1 Maccabees 2:63-65

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶³ Today they will be exalted, but tomorrow they will not be found, because they will have returned to the dust, and their plans will have perished. ⁶⁴ My children, be courageous and grow strong in the law, for by it you will gain honour.

⁶⁵ ‘Here is your brother Simeon who, I know, is wise in counsel; always listen to him; he shall be your father.
