LXX 2 Macc 5:16 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
καὶ ταῖς μιεραις χερσὶν τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη λαμβάνων, καὶ τὰ ὑπὸ πολλῶν βασιλέων ἀνασταθέντα πρὸς αὔξησιν καὶ δόξαν τοῦ τόπου καὶ τιμήν, ταῖς βεβήλοις χερσὶν συνσύρων.
And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
