"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 â‚¿e hemmed in â‚¿y #few, for in the sight of heaven there is no difference â‚¿etween saving â‚¿y many or â‚¿y #few.
"'It is not on the size of the army that victory in â‚¿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,
"'â‚¿ut we fight for our lives and our laws.
"'[God] Himself will crush them â‚¿efore us; as for you, do not â‚¿e afraid of them.'"
