1 Maccabees 2:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Her temple has become like a man disgraced,
9 her glorious vessels carried off as spoils,
Her infants murdered in her streets,
her youths by the sword of the enemy.(A)
10 What nation has not taken its share of her realm,
and laid its hand on her spoils?
