2 Maccabees 13:9 Context
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 þe king came with a barbarous & hautie mind, to do far worse to þe Iewes then had beene done in his fathers time. 10Which things when Iudas perceiued, hee commanded the multitude to call vpon the Lord night & day, that if euer at any other time, he would now also helpe them, being at the point to be put from their Law, from their country, and from the holy Temple: 11And that hee would not suffer the people, that had euen now been but a little refreshed, to be in subiection to the blasphemous nations.
