1 Maccabees 2:12

12 And see, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned them.

1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 What nation has not inherited her palaces and has not seized her spoils?

11 All her adornment has been taken away; no longer free, she has become a slave.

12 And see, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned them.

13 Why should we live any longer?"

14 Then Mattathias and his sons tore their clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned greatly.
