2 Maccabees 6:3-5

Common English Bible

³ The onslaught of this evil was severe and hard for all to bear. ⁴ The Gentiles filled the temple with wild partying and sexual indulgence. They were entertaining themselves with prostitutes and having sex with women in the priestly chambers. In addition, they carried in unfit things, ⁵ and the altar was illegally covered with offerings forbidden by the laws.
