1 Maccabees 1:37 Context
35They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoiles of Ierusalem, they layd them vp there, and so they became a sore snare: 36For it was a place to lie in wait against the Sanctuary, and an euill aduersary to Israel. 37Thus they shed innocent blood on euery side of the Sanctuary, and defiled it. 38In so much that the inhabitants of Ierusalem fledde because of them, whereupon [the citie] was made an habitation of strangers, & became strange to those that were borne in her, and her owne children left her: 39Her Sanctuary was laid waste like a wildernesse, her feasts were turned into mourning, her Sabbaths into reproch, her honour into contempt.
