2 Maccabees 12:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God the just judge,

⁶ He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire.

⁷ And when he had done these things in this manner, he departed as if he would return again, and root out all the Joppites.
