2 Maccabees 12:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents.

¹³ He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin.

¹⁴ But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.
