1 Maccabees 1:26 In-Context

24 Taking it all, he went back to his own land. He committed murder and spoke very arrogantly.

25 Every community in Israel grieved deeply.

26 Rulers and elders groaned; young women and men became faint. The women's beauty faded.

27 Every bridegroom was saddened, and intended brides sat mourning in their chambers.

28 Even the land shook for its people, and all of Jacob's house was clothed with shame.
