1 Maccabees 2:12

12 Look at our Temple, profaned by the Gentiles, emptied of all its splendor.

1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 Every nation in the world has occupied the city and robbed her of her possessions.

11 All her ornaments have been stripped away; she is now a slave, no longer free.

12 Look at our Temple, profaned by the Gentiles, emptied of all its splendor.

13 Why should we go on living?"

14 In their grief, Mattathias and his sons tore their clothes, put on sackcloth, and continued in deep mourning.
