2 Maccabees 8:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ And Maccabeus, with the multitude gathered, was made unsufferable to (the) heathen men; for the wrath of the Lord was converted into mercy.

⁶ And he above-came to castles and cities, unwarned (or And he came unannounced into towns and cities), and burnt them (up); and occupied covenable (or opportune) places, and gave not few slayings of (his) enemies.

⁷ Soothly in (the) nights he was most borne to seek out runnings; and fame of his virtue was shed out, either showed, everywhere.
