2 Maccabees 5:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ Wherefore all men prayed, that the monsters, or wonders, tokens of things to coming, be converted [or be (al)together turned] into good.

⁵ But when false tiding [or false rumour] went out, as if Antiochus had gone out of life, Jason suddenly assailed the city, with men taken not less than a thousand [or (with) a thousand men taken to (there), not less]; and when (the) citizens fled to the wall together, and at the last the city was taken, Menelaus fled into the high tower.

⁶ Forsooth Jason spared not in slaying his citizens, neither he thought prosperity against (his) cousins; and he deemed it for to be most evil [or deeming (it) most evil], that he should take victories of (his) enemies, and not of (his) citizens.
