1 Maccabees 4:43-45

Wycliffe Bible

⁴³ and they cleansed (the) holy things (or and they cleansed the Temple), and took away (the) stones of defouling into an unclean place.

⁴⁴ And he thought on (or about) the altar of burnt sacrifices, that was unhallowed, (and) what he should do thereof.

⁴⁵ And a good counsel fell into him, for to destroy it, lest it were to them into shame (or reproof), for (the) heathen men (had) defouled it.
