1 Maccabees 14:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ No one was left in the land to fight them,
    and the kings were crushed in those days.
¹⁴ He strengthened all the humble of his people;
    he sought out the law,
    and did away with every lawless and wicked man.
¹⁵ He made the sanctuary glorious,
    and added to the vessels of the sanctuary.
