LXX 2 Macc 4:16 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
ὦς καὶ χάριν περιέσχεν αὐτοὺς χαλεπὴ περίστασις, καὶ ὧν ἐζήλουν τὰς ἀγωγὰς καὶ καθʼ ὃ ἅπαν ἤθελον ἐξομοιοῦσθαι, τοὺς πολεμίους καὶ τιμωρητάς ἔσχον.
For the sake of which they incurred a dangerous contention, and followed earnestly their ordinances, and in all things they coveted to be like them, who were their enemies and murderers.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
