2 Maccabees 3:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart.

¹⁸ Others also came flocking together out of their houses, praying and making public supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

¹⁹ And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.
