1 Maccabees 2:63-65

New Catholic Bible

⁶³Today they are exalted, but tomorrow they are nowhere to be found
    because they have returned to the dust,
    and their grandiose schemes have come to naught.
⁶⁴My children, draw your courage and strength from the law,
    for through it glory will be yours.

⁶⁵“Here is your brother Simon who I know is a man of sound judgment. Always listen to him, for he will act as your father.
