1 Maccabees 1:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ In those days wicked sons of Israel went out, and counselled many, and said, [or saying], Go we, and ordain we [a] testament (or a covenant) with (the) heathen men, that be about us; for since we parted from them, many evils found us.

¹² And the word was seen good before the eyes of them.

¹³ And some of the people sent, and went to the king; and he gave power to them for to do (the) rightfulness of (the) heathen men.
