1 Maccabees 9:44-46

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁴ And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.

⁴⁵ And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.

⁴⁶ Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.
