2 Maccabees 6:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And whosoever would not conform themselves to the ways of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then was misery to be seen.

¹⁰ For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls.

¹¹ And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day.
