LXX 2 Macc 9:4 Ancient Greek Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
ἐπαρθεὶς δὲ τῷ θυμῷ ᾤετο καὶ τῶν πεφυγαδευκότων αὐτὸν κακίαν εἰς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἐναπερείσασθαι· διὸ συνέταξεν τὸν ἁρματηλάτην ἀδιαλείπτως ἐλαύνοντα καταλύειν τὴν πορίαν, τῆς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δὴ κρίσεως συνούσης αὐτῷ· οὕτως γὰρ ὑπερηφάνως εἶπεν Πολυάνδροιν Ἰουδαίων Ἰεροσόλυμα ποιήσω, παραγενόμενος ἐκεῖ.
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
