2 Maccabees 14:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ When Nicanor became aware that he had been cleverly outwitted by this man, he went to the great and holy temple at the time when the priests were offering the customary sacrifices and ordered them to surrender Judas. ³² When they declared under oath that they did not know the whereabouts of the wanted man, ³³ he stretched out his right hand toward the temple and swore this oath: “If you do not hand over Judas to me as a prisoner, I shall level this shrine of God to the ground and destroy the altar, and on this very spot, I will erect a splendid temple to Dionysus.”
