2 Maccabees 14:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ Therefore the king was made sharp, and stirred to wrath with such worst accusings, and wrote to Nicanor, and said, [or saying], that soothly he bare grievously of (the) according of friendship, and nevertheless commanded for to send Maccabeus bound to Antioch.

²⁸ And when these things were know, Nicanor was astonied (or astonished), and grievously bare (it), if he made void those things that were accorded [or if he made void those things that accorded], and (as) he was nothing hurt, or harmed, of (or by) the man;

²⁹ but for he might not against-stand the king, he kept covenability (or he waited for an opportunity), in which he should perform the commandment.
