2 Maccabees 6:9-11

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ soothly that they should slay them, that would not pass (or agree) to the ordinances of (the) heathen men. Therefore it was to see wretchedness [or Therefore it was wretchedness for to see these things].

¹⁰ For why two women were accused, that they had circumcised their children; and when they had led them about openly by the city, with (the) infants hanged at their breasts, they casted (them) down by the walls. [Forsooth two women were accused, for to have circumcised their children; whom when they had led about openly by the city, the infants hanged at (their) breasts, they casted them down by the walls.]

¹¹ Forsooth other men went together to the next dens (or caves), and hallowed privily the day of sabbath, (and) when they were showed to Philip, they were burnt in flames, for they dreaded for religion and observance, for to bear help to themselves with hand.
