1 Maccabees 3:52 In-Context

50 The whole community prayed, "Lord, what shall we do with these things? Where shall we take them,

51 now that your holy Temple has been trampled and profaned by Gentiles, and your priests mourn in disgrace?

52 The Gentiles have come to attack and destroy us. You know what they plan to do!

53 If you don't help us, how can we stand up against them?"

54 Then they blew trumpets and shouted loudly.
