1 Maccabees 4:36-38

Wycliffe Bible

³⁶ Forsooth Judas said to his brethren [or Forsooth Judas said, and his brethren], Lo! our enemies be all-broken; go we up or ascend we now, for to cleanse (the) holy things, and make new (or for to cleanse the Temple, and to make it new again).

³⁷ And all the host was gathered, and they went up into the hill of Zion.

³⁸ And they saw (the) hallowing desert(ed), either forsaken (or And they saw the Temple deserted), and the altar unhallowed, or defouled by idolatry, and the gates burnt, and in the porches tender trees grown, as in (the) wild wood, or (in the) mountains, and (the) little cells destroyed.
