1 Maccabees 3:6

6 Lawless men shrank back for fear of him; all the evildoers were confounded; and deliverance prospered by his hand.

1 Maccabees 3:6 In-Context

4 He was like a lion in his deeds, like a lion's cub roaring for prey.

5 He searched out and pursued the lawless; he burned those who troubled his people.

6 Lawless men shrank back for fear of him; all the evildoers were confounded; and deliverance prospered by his hand.

7 He embittered many kings, but he made Jacob glad by his deeds, and his memory is blessed for ever.

8 He went through the cities of Judah; he destroyed the ungodly out of the land; thus he turned away wrath from Israel.
