1 Maccabees 2:60-63 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

60. Daniel, in his simplicity, was delivered from the mouth of the lions.

61. And so, consider that, through generation after generation of all those who trusted in him, none have failed in strength.

62. And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung and worms.

63. Today he is extolled, and tomorrow he will not be found, because he has returned into his earth and his thinking has perished.
