2 Maccabees 11:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ forsooth to have the temple into winning of money, as other temples of (the) heathen men, and (the) priesthood set to sale [or vendable] by each year;

⁴ and bethought not on the power of God [or not bethinking (on) the power of God], but in mind, or understanding, he was made without bridle, and trusted in (the) multitude of footmen, and in thousands of horsemen, and in fourscore elephants.

⁵ Soothly he went into Judea, and came nigh to Bethsura, that was in a strait place, from Jerusalem in (the) space of five furlongs, and fought against that strength (or that stronghold).
