2 Maccabees 13:7

2 Maccabees 13:7 Context

⁵Now there was in that place a towre of fifty cubites high full of ashes, and it had a round instrumēt which on euery side hanged down into the ashes. ⁶And whosoeuer was condemned of sacriledge, or had committed any other grieuous crime, there did all men thrust him vnto death. ⁷Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not hauing so much as buriall in the earth, & that most iustly. ⁸For inasmuch as he had committed many sinnes about the altar whose fire and ashes were holy, hee receiued his death in ashes. ⁹Now þ^e king came with a barbarous & hautie mind, to do far worse to þ^e Iewes then had beene done in his fathers time.
