2 Maccabees 14:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ Then (the) heathen men, that fled Judas from Judea, flock-meal joined them(selves) to Nicanor, and guessed the wretchednesses and deaths of (the) Jews [or guessing the mis-eases and deaths of Jews] (to be) prosperities of (or for) their things.

¹⁵ Therefore when (the) coming of Nicanor was heard, and (the) coming together of (the) nations, (the) Jews besprinkled with earth prayed him, that ordained his people into without end for to keep, and which covereth, or defendeth, his part with open signs.

¹⁶ Forsooth for the duke commanded, anon (or at once) they (re)moved from thence, and came together to the castle Dessau (or to the town of Adasa).
