2 Maccabees 12:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ Forsooth these that were within, trusted in the stableness of (the) walls, and in (the) apparel of foods, and did slacklier, stirring Judas with curses, either swearings, and blaspheming, and speaking which things it is not leaveful (or lawful) (to speak).

¹⁵ Soothly Maccabeus called to help [or in-called] the great Prince of the world, which without wethers, that be engines like wethers (or rams), and without engines, in the times of Jesus, either Joshua, casted down Jericho; and hurled fiercely to the walls,

¹⁶ and took the city by (the) will of the Lord, and did unnumberable slayings; so that the pool of standing water of two furlongs of (or in) breadth, seemed [or was seen] to flow with (the) blood of slain men.
