1 Maccabees 3:51

51 Thy sanctuary is trampled down and profaned, and thy priests mourn in humiliation.

1 Maccabees 3:51 In-Context

49 They also brought the garments of the priesthood and the first fruits and the tithes, and they stirred up the Nazirites who had completed their days;

50 and they cried aloud to Heaven, saying, "What shall we do with these? Where shall we take them?

51 Thy sanctuary is trampled down and profaned, and thy priests mourn in humiliation.

52 And behold, the Gentiles are assembled against us to destroy us; thou knowest what they plot against us.

53 How will we be able to withstand them, if thou dost not help us?"
