2 Maccabees 12:14

14 But those who were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely toward those who were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.

2 Maccabees 12:14 In-Context

12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace, whereupon they shook hands; and so they departed to their tents.

14 But those who were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely toward those who were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.

15 Therefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world (who without rams or engines of war cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua), gave a fierce assault against the walls

16 and took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaughters, insomuch that a lake a quarter of a mile nearby adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood.
