LXX 2 Macc 9:8 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
ὁ δʼ ἀντιδοκῶν τοῖς τῆς θαλάσσης κύμασιν διὰ τὴν ὑπέρ ἀνθρώπων ὑπερηφανίαν, καὶ πλάστιγγι τῶν ὀρέων οἰόμενος ὕψη στήσειν, κατὰ γῆν γενόμενος ἐν φορίῳ παρεκομίζετο, φανερὰν τοῦ θεοῦ πᾶσιν τὴν δύναμιν ἐνδεικνύμενος·
Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself:
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
