1 Maccabees 6:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow, wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power!

¹² But now I remember the evils that I have done in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause.

¹³ I know therefore that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land.
