2 Maccabees 4:48-50 World English Bible (WEB)

48. Soon then did they that were spokesmen for the city and the families of Israel and the holy vessels suffer that unrighteous penalty.

49. For which cause even certain Tyrians, moved with hatred of the wickedness, provided magnificently for their burial.

50. But Menelaus through the covetous dealings of them that were in power remained still in his office, cleaving to wickedness, as a great conspirator against his fellow-citizens.
