1 Maccabees 2:65-67

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶⁵ And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you.

⁶⁶ And Judas Machabeus who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people.

⁶⁷ And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people.
