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

1774–1849 Catholic

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)
