1 Maccabees 8:23 In-Context

21 The Romans accepted the proposal,
22 and what follows is a copy of the letter which was engraved on bronze tablets and sent to Jerusalem to remain there as a record of the treaty:
23 "May things go well forever for the Romans and for the Jewish nation on land and sea! May they never have enemies, and may they never go to war!
24 But if war is declared first against Rome or any of her allies anywhere,
25 the Jewish nation will come to her aid with wholehearted support, as the situation may require.
