1 Maccabees 3:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company:

¹⁹ For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven.

²⁰ They come against us with an insolent multitude, and with pride, to destroy us, and our wives, and our children, and to take our spoils.
