1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 Is there a nation that hasn't taken away some part of her majesty and seized upon her loot?

11 All her adornment has been taken away. She is no longer free, but is instead a slave.

12 Look! Our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have all been destroyed. The Gentiles have trampled them.

13 Why should we live any longer?"

14 Then Mattathias and his sons tore their clothes and put on mourning clothes, and they lamented.
