2 Maccabees 8:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² When news of Nicanor’s plan reached Judas, he told those with him about the imminent appearance of the military force. ¹³ The cowardly and those who didn’t trust God’s judgment ran away and hid themselves. ¹⁴ Some were selling all they possessed while at the same time calling on the Lord to rescue those whom Nicanor had sold even before they met.
