1 Maccabees 2:12

12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.

1 Maccabees 2:12 In-Context

10 What nation hath not inherited her kingdom, and gotten of her spoils?

11 All her ornaments are taken away. She that was free is made a slave.

12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.

13 To what end then should we live any longer?

14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.
