1 Maccabees 3:49-51

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁹ And they brought the priestly ornaments, and the firstfruits and tithes, and stirred up the Nazarites that had fulfilled their days:

⁵⁰ And they cried with a loud voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them?

⁵¹ For thy holies are trodden down, and are profaned, and thy priests are in mourning, and are brought low.
