1 Maccabees 3:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ He was like a ferocious lion roaring as it attacks.
⁵ Judas hunted down those who broke the Law
    and set fire to all who oppressed his people.
⁶ In fear of him, lawless men huddled together in terror,
    not knowing which way to turn.
He advanced the cause of freedom by what he did.
