2 Maccabees 15:33

33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.

2 Maccabees 15:33 In-Context

31 So when he was there, and called those of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for those who were in the tower,

32 and showed them vile Nicanor's head and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.

33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.

34 So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be He that hath kept His own place undefiled!

35 He hung also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.
