2 Maccabees 6:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And very bad was this invasion of evils and grievous to all.

⁴ For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful.

⁵ The altar also was filled with unlawful things, which were forbidden by the laws.
