1 Maccabees 1:40

40 Her dishonor now grew as great as her glory; her exaltation was turned into mourning.

1 Maccabees 1:40 In-Context

38 Because of them the residents of Jerusalem fled; she became a dwelling of strangers; she became strange to her offspring, and her children forsook her.

39 Her sanctuary became desolate like a desert; her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into a reproach, her honor into contempt.

40 Her dishonor now grew as great as her glory; her exaltation was turned into mourning.

41 Then the king wrote to his whole kingdom that all should be one people,

42 and that all should give up their particular customs.
