1 Maccabees 6:9-13 World English Bible (WEB)

9. And he was there many days, because great grief was renewed upon him, and he made account that he should die.

10. And he called for all his Friends, and said to them, Sleep departs from mine eyes, and my heart fails for care.

11. And I said in my heart, To what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood is it, wherein I now am! for I was gracious and beloved in my power.

12. But now I remember the evils which I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of silver and gold that were therein, and sent forth to destroy the inhabitants of Judah without a cause.

13. I percieve that on this account these evils are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
