1 Maccabees 3:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 He enhanced the glory of his people,
and like a giant he put on his breastplate.
He girded himself with the armor of warfare,
engaging in battles and protecting the camp by his sword.
4 In his exploits he was like a lion,
like a young lion roaring for prey.
5 He pursued and tracked down the wicked,
and he cast into the flames those who troubled his people.
