2 Maccabees 9:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Worms issued from the eyes^[a] of this ungodly man. While he was living in pain and in agony, his flesh was rotting away, and the whole camp stank of rottenness from his smell. ¹⁰ The one who had formerly thought that he could touch the stars of heaven couldn’t be transported by anyone because of the intense, unbearable stench.

¹¹ From this point on, he began to lose arrogance. He felt devastated and became aware of the divine punishment, suffering intense pain every moment.
