1 Machabees 3:4-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.

5. And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire:

6. And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand.

7. And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever.
