"When they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas, 'How can we, #few as we are, fight against so great and so strong a multitude? And we are faint, for we have eaten nothing today.'
"Judas replied, 'It is easy for many to ₿e hemmed in ₿y #few, for in the sight of heaven there is no difference ₿etween saving ₿y many or ₿y #few.
"'It is not on the size of the army that victory in ₿attle depends, but strength comes from heaven.
"'They come against us in great insolence and lawlessness to destroy us and our wives and our children and to despoil us,
"'₿ut we fight for our lives and our laws.
"'[God] Himself will crush them ₿efore us; as for you, do not ₿e afraid of them.'"
- 1 Maccabees 3:17-22
