20 They come against us in great insolence and lawlessness to destroy us and our wives and our children, and to despoil us;

1 Maccabees 3:20 In-Context

18 Judas replied, "It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.

19 It is not on the size of the army that victory in battle depends, but strength comes from Heaven.

20 They come against us in great insolence and lawlessness to destroy us and our wives and our children, and to despoil us;

21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.

22 He himself will crush them before us; as for you, do not be afraid of them."
