1 Maccabees 3:5

5 He hunted and pursued those who broke the Law. He burned up those who troubled his people.

1 Maccabees 3:5 In-Context

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.
7 He angered many kings, but he brought joy to Jacob by his deeds. His memory is blessed forever.
