2 Maccabees 6:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ And there went out a decree into the neighbouring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice:

⁹ And whosoever would not conform themselves to the ways of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then was misery to be seen.

¹⁰ For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls.
