2 Maccabees 1:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ After the priests had laid out the treasure, he and a few of his men went into the temple to collect it. But the priests closed the doors behind him ¹⁶ and stoned him and his men from trap doors hidden in the ceiling. Then they cut up the bodies and threw the heads to the people outside. ¹⁷ Praise God for punishing those evil men! Praise him for everything!
