2 Maccabees 3:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Forsooth (the) priests casted themselves before the altar, with (their) priests’ stoles, and called to help from heaven him that gave (a) law of things put in keeping, (so) that he should keep those things safe to (or for) them that had put those [or that had put them] in keeping.

¹⁶ Now forsooth he that saw the cheer (or the face) of the highest priest, was wounded in soul; for the face and colour was changed, and declared the inward sorrow of (his) soul.

¹⁷ For some (or such) sorrowfulness was shed about to the man, and hideousness of (the) body, by which the sorrow of (his) heart was made known to men beholding.
