1 Maccabees 3:4-6 World English Bible (WEB)

4. And he was like a lion in his deeds, and as a lion’s whelp roaring for prey.

5. And he pursued the lawless, seeking them out, and he burned up those that troubled his people.

6. And the lawless shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of lawlessness were sore troubled, and salvation prospered in his hand.
