1 Maccabees 3:20

20 They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us and our wives and children, and to despoil us;

1 Maccabees 3:20 In-Context

18 Unto whom Judas answered, "It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one: to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company.
19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of a host, but strength cometh from heaven.
20 They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us and our wives and children, and to despoil us;
21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.
22 Therefore the Lord Himself will overthrow them before our face; and as for you, be ye not afraid of them."
