2 Maccabees 15:33-35

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ He commanded also, that the tongue of the wicked Nicanor, should be cut out and given by pieces to birds, and the hand of the furious man to be hanged up over against the temple.

³⁴ Then all blessed the Lord of heaven, saying: Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.

³⁵ And he hung up Nicanor's head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God.
