1 Maccabees 1:25

25 Israel mourned deeply in every community,

1 Maccabees 1:25 In-Context

23 He took the silver and the gold, and the costly vessels; he took also the hidden treasures which he found.

24 Taking them all, he departed to his own land. He committed deeds of murder, and spoke with great arrogance.

25 Israel mourned deeply in every community,

26 rulers and elders groaned, maidens and young men became faint, the beauty of women faded.

27 Every bridegroom took up the lament; she who sat in the bridal chamber was mourning.
