1 Maccabees 1:60-64 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

60. In keeping with the decree, they put to death women who had their children circumcised,

61. and they hung their babies from their necks; their families also and those who had circumcised them were killed.

62. But many in Israel were determined and resolved in their hearts not to eat anything unclean;

63. they preferred to die rather than to be defiled with food or to profane the holy covenant; and they did die.

64. And very great wrath came upon Israel.
