1 Maccabees 3:4

4 He was like a lion in his actions, like a lion's cub roaring after prey.

1 Maccabees 3:4 In-Context

2 Every one of his brothers and all who had joined his father helped him, and they gladly fought for Israel.
3 He advanced the honor of his people. He put on his breastplate like a giant. He strapped on his war armor and waged battles, protecting the camp with his sword.
4 He was like a lion in his actions, like a lion's cub roaring after prey.
5 He hunted and pursued those who broke the Law. He burned up those who troubled his people.
6 Lawbreakers were afraid of him and retreated. All evildoers were in turmoil. His hand successfully brought deliverance.
