1 Maccabees 2:12

12 And, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste; and the Gentiles have profaned it.

1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 What nation hath not had a part of her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?

11 All her ornaments are taken away; from a free woman she has become a bondslave.

12 And, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste; and the Gentiles have profaned it.

13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer?"

14 Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sorely.
