1 Maccabees 6:9–13

⁹And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die.

¹⁰And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety:

¹¹And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power!

¹²But now I remember the evils that I did in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver, that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause.

¹³I know, therefore, that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land.
