1 Maccabees 3:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 He pursued and tracked down the wicked,
and he cast into the flames those who troubled his people.
6 The lawbreakers cowered with terror at his approach;
all evildoers were completely confounded.
Under his leadership deliverance was achieved,
7 as he caused many kings to become embittered,
but Jacob to be gladdened by his deeds;
and his memory is blessed forever.
