1 Maccabees 1:38
Douay-Rheims
And this was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil devil in Israel.
George Leo Haydock
Sanctuary, to pillage all who came to the temple. (Calmet) — An evil devil. Literally, an adversary, watching constantly to do harm, as the evil spirit is always watching and seeking whom he could devour. (Challoner)
