1 Maccabees 8:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
10 but this became known to them, and they sent a general against the Greeks[a] and attacked them. Many of them were wounded and fell, and the Romans[b] took captive their wives and children; they plundered them, conquered the land, tore down their strongholds, and enslaved them to this day. 11 The remaining kingdoms and islands, as many as ever opposed them, they destroyed and enslaved; 12 but with their friends and those who rely on them they have kept friendship. They have subdued kings far and near, and as many as have heard of their fame have feared them.
