8. Her temple is become as a man that was glorious:
9. her vessels of glory are carried away into captivity, her infants are slain in her streets, her young men with the sword of the enemy.
10. What nation has not inherited her palaces, and gotten possession of her spoils?
11. her adorning is all taken away; instead of a free woman she is become a bond woman:
12. and, behold, our holy things and our beauty and our glory are laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned them.
13. Wherefore should we live any longer?
14. And Mattathias and his sons tore their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned exceedingly.
15. And the king’s officers, that were enforcing the apostasy, came into the city Modin to sacrifice.
16. And many of Israel came to them, and Mattathias and his sons were gathered together.
