5For he pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burned up those that vexed his people.
6Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.
— 1 Maccabees 3:7 —
8Moreover he went through the cities of Judah, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:
9so that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.
