2 Maccabees 3:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ The high priest explained that some of the money was set aside for the care of widows and orphans, ¹¹ and that the rest belonged to Hyrcanus, the son of Tobias,^[a] a man who held a very prominent position. In contrast to what the impious Simon had alleged, the total sum amounted to four hundred talents of silver and two hundred talents of gold.

¹² He further added that it would be completely out of the question to inflict injustice upon those who had placed their trust in the sanctity of the place and in the holiness and inviolability of a temple venerated throughout the entire world.
