2 Maccabees 12:5-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. When Judas learned of the cruelty done to the men of his nation, he informed the men who were with him, and, having called upon God, the Just Judge,

6. he went against the executors of his brothers, and he even set the port on fire in the night; he burned the boats, but those who took refuge from the fire, he destroyed with the sword.

7. And when he had done these things in this way, he departed, as if he would return again to eradicate all those of Joppa.
