1 Maccabees 13:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ And now befall it not to me, for to spare my (own) life, [or my soul], in all the time of tribulation; for I am no better than my brethren.

⁶ Therefore I shall (a)venge my folk, and holy things (or and the Temple), and our children, and (our) wives; for all (the) heathen men be gathered, for to destroy us, because of enmity.

⁷ And the spirit of the people was kindled together, as it (or as they) heard these words.
