2 Maccabees 6:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ Wherefore in passing the life strongly, that is, in dying for the law of God, soothly I shall appear worthy of (my) age;

²⁸ forsooth I shall leave strong ensample to young men, if I use perfectly honest death with ready will [or if I be perfectly set in honest death with ready inwit], and strongly for the worthiest and holiest laws. When these things were said, anon (or at once) he was drawn to (the) torment.

²⁹ Forsooth these that led him, and (that) a little before were milder, were turned into wrath, for the words said of (or by) him, which they deemed brought forth by pride of heart.
