2 Maccabees 10:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² Forsooth he destroyed the altars, that (the) aliens made by (or in) (the) streets, and also [the] temples of washing.

³ And when the temple was purged, they made another altar, and of stones fired, or flints, by fire conceived, they offered sacrifices after two years, and putted incense, and lanterns, and loaves of proposition.

⁴ And when these things were done, they were cast down to (the) earth, and prayed the Lord, that they should no more fall in[to] such evils; but though in anytime they had sinned, that they should be chastised of (or by) him more easily, and should not be betaken to barbarians, [or heathen], and blasphemous men.
