2 Maccabees 6:18-31
Eleazar was being forced to open his mouth to eat swines flesh. He went up to the rack of his own accord, spitting out the flesh. Those who were in charge of that unlawful sacrifice took Eleazar aside. They urged him to bring meat of his own, proper for him to use, and to pretend that he was eating the flesh of the sacrificial meal that had been commanded by the king. By doing this he might be saved from death and be treated kindly on account of his old friendship with them. Such pretense is not worthy of our time of life, he said, for many of the young might suppose that Eleazar in his ninetieth year had gone over to an alien religion. For the sake of living a brief moment longer, I would lead them astray and defile and disgrace my old age. For the present I would avoid the punishment of mortals. But whether I live or die I will not escape the hands of the Almighty. I will show myself worthy of my old age and leave to the young an example of how to die a good death.
When he had said this, he went at once to the rack. Those who before had acted with goodwill toward him now changed to ill will. When he was about to die under the blows, he groaned aloud and said, I am enduring terrible sufferings in my body, but in my soul I am glad to suffer these things because I fear the Lord.
So in this way he died, leaving in his death a memorial of courage, not only to the young but to the great body of his nation.
Daniel 14: 3-22
The Babylonians had an idol called Bel. Every day they provided for it twelve bushels of choice flour and forty sheep and six measures of wine. The king went every day to worship it. But Daniel worshiped his own God. So the king said to him, Why do you not worship Bel?
He answered, Because I do not revere idols made with hands, but the living God, who created heaven and earth.
The king said, Do you not think that Bel is a living god? Do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?
Daniel laughed, and said, Do not be deceived, O king, for this thing is only clay inside and bronze outside. It never ate or drank anything.
So the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel. The priests of Bel said, See, we are now going outside. You yourself, O king, set out the food and prepare the wine. Shut the door and seal it with your signet. When you return in the morning, if you do not find that Bel has eaten it all, we will die.
They were unconcerned because beneath the table they had made a hidden entrance. After they had gone out, the king set out the food for Bel. Then Daniel ordered his servants to bring ashes. They scattered them throughout the whole temple in the presence of the king alone. Then they went out, shut the door, sealed it with the kings signet and departed. During the night the priests came as usual with their wives and children. They ate and drank everything.
Early in the morning the king rose and came, and Daniel was with him.
Are the seals unbroken, Daniel?
They are unbroken, O King.
As soon as the doors were opened, the king looked at the table and shouted, You are great, O Bel! In you there is no deceit at all!
But Daniel restrained the king from going in. Look at the floor, he said, and notice whose footprints these are.
The king said, I see the footprints of men and women and children.
Then the king was enraged. He arrested the priests, their wives and children. They showed him the secret doors through which they used to enter to consume what was on the table. Therefore the king put them to death and gave Bel over to Daniel who destroyed it along with Bels temple.
Judith 1: 1-7:16
Nebuchadnezzar ruled over the Assyrians in the great city of Nineveh. He made war against King Arphaxad. Nebuchadnezzar sent messengers. But all who lived in the whole region disregarded the summons of Nebuchadnezzar. They refused to join him in the war. They were not afraid of him but regarded him as only one man. So they sent back his messengers empty-handed and in disgrace. Nebuchadnezzar became very angry. He swore by his throne and kingdom that he would take revenge. Then he summoned all his ministers and all his nobles. He set before them his secret plan. They decided that every one who had not obeyed his command should be destroyed. When he had completed his plan, Nebuchadnezzar called Holofernes, the chief general of his army, and said to him, March out against all the land to the west because they disobeyed my orders. Tell them to prepare earth and water because I will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of my troops.
The next day Holofernes moved against Bethulia and made war on the Israelites. Then all the chieftains of the coast land came to him and said, Listen to what we have to say, my lord. Your army will suffer no losses. Remain in your camp, and keep all the men in your forces with you. Let your servants take possession of the water that flows from the foot of the mountain. This is where all the people of Bethulia get their water. So thirst will destroy them. They will surrender their town. We and our people will go up to the tops of the nearby mountains. We will keep watch to see that no one gets out of the town. They, along with their wives and children, will waste away from famine. Before the sword reaches them, they will be strewn about in the streets where they live. Thus you will pay them back with evil because they rebelled and did not receive you peaceably.
These words pleased Holofernes and all his attendants. He gave orders to do as they had said.
Judith 8:1-10:10
Judith was beautiful in appearance and was very lovely to behold. Her husband Manasseh had left her gold and silver, men and women slaves, livestock, and fields. She maintained this estate. No one spoke ill of her because she feared God with great devotion.
Judith said, Listen to me! God is not like a human being. Let us call upon him to help us. He will hear our voice. We know no other god but him. We hope that he will not disdain us or any of our nation. For if we are captured, all Judea will be captured, and our sanctuary will be plundered.
Then Judith said to them, I am about to do something that will go down through all generations of our descendants. Stand at the town gate tonight. I may go out with my maid. The Lord will deliver Israel by my hand. Do not try to find out what I am doing. I will not tell you until I have finished what I am about to do.
The rulers said to her, Go in peace. May the Lord God go before you.
Judith went down into the house. She took off her widows garments, bathed her body with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment. She combed her hair, put on a tiara, and dressed herself in the festive attire that she used to wear while her husband Manasseh was living. She put sandals on her feet and put on her anklets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and all her other jewelry. Thus she made herself very beautiful to entice the eyes of all the men who might see her. She gave her maid a skin of wine and a flask of oil. Then they went out to the town gate. Order the gate of the town to be opened for me so that I may go out, Judith said. They ordered the young men to open the gate for her. Judith went out accompanied by her maid. The men of the town watched her until they lost sight of her.
