1 Maccabees 8:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And the proposal was pleasing in their sight.

²² And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace and alliance.

²³ GOOD SUCCESS BE TO THE ROMANS, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: and far be the sword and enemy from them.
