1 Maccabees 1:39–41

³⁹And they shed innocent blood round about the sanctuary, and defiled the holy place.

⁴⁰And the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled away by reason of them and the city was made the habitation of strangers, and she became a stranger to her own seed, and her children forsook her.

⁴¹Her sanctuary was desolate like a wilderness, her festival days were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her honours were brought to nothing.
