2 Maccabees 6:8-10
Common English Bible
8 At Ptolemais’ suggestion,[a] a decision was announced to the neighboring Greek cities that they should adopt the same policy against the Jews and that they should be made to eat the sacrificial portions, 9 and that those who refused to change to Greek practices should be slaughtered. At that point it was easy to see the miserable state that had arrived. 10 For instance, they brought forward two women who had circumcised their sons, with their infants hanging from their breasts. They dragged them around the city publicly, then hurled them down from the city wall.
