2 Maccabees 13:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And by such (a) law it befell the breaker of (the) law for to die, neither (that) Menelaus for to be given to (the) earth. And forsooth justly enough;

⁸ for why for he did many trespasses against the altar of God, whose fire and ashes was (or were) holy, (so) he was condemned in the death of (or by) ashes.

⁹ But the king without bridle in (or of) mind, or understanding, came to show him(self) worse to (the) Jews, than his father.
