2 Maccabees 12:40-42 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

40. But under the tunic of each of the dead they found amulets sacred to the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbids the Jews to wear. So it was clear to all that this was why these men had fallen.

41. They all therefore praised the ways of the Lord, the just judge who brings to light the things that are hidden.

42. Turning to supplication, they prayed that the sinful deed might be fully blotted out. The noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves free from sin, for they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen.
