“In the sight of Heaven, deliverance, whether by many or by few, is all one … and He will crush them before our eyes;
do not be afraid of them”
(1 Mac 3:18, 22).
18
'It is easy', Judas answered, 'for a great number to be defeated by a few;
indeed, in the sight of Heaven, deliverance, whether by many or by few, is all one;
19
for victory in war does not depend on the size of the fighting force:
Heaven accords the strength.
…
22
and he will crush them before our eyes;
do not be afraid of them.'
