1 Maccabees 9:44-46

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁴ Then Jonathan said to those with him, “Let us get up now and fight for our lives, for today things have changed considerably from the way they used to be. ⁴⁵ In front of us the battle awaits; behind us are the waters of the Jordan on one side and marshland and thickets on the other. There is no way out. ⁴⁶ Cry out to Heaven that you may be saved from our enemies.”
