1 Maccabees 3:58LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 58 of 60
"And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary."
In context
56And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law.
57So they removed the camp, and pitched on the south side of Emmaus.
58And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary.
59For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see the evils of our nation, and of the holies:
60Nevertheless as it shall be the will of God in heaven so be it done.
