1 Maccabees 2:12

12 And behold, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned it.

1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 What nation has not inherited her palaces and has not seized her spoils?
11 All her adornment has been taken away; no longer free, she has become a slave.
12 And behold, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned it.
13 Why should we live any longer?"
14 And Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned greatly.
