1 Maccabees 3:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ He was like a lion in his actions,
    like a lion’s cub roaring after prey.
⁵ He hunted and pursued
those who broke the Law.
    He burned up
    those who troubled his people.
⁶ Lawbreakers were afraid of him
and retreated.
    All evildoers were in turmoil.
        His hand successfully
        brought deliverance.
