2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 15:5

ὁ δὲ ἕτερος Κἀγώ φησιν δυνάστης ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὁ προστάσσων αἴρειν ὅπλα καὶ τὰς βασιλικὰς χρείας ἐπιτελεῖν. ὅμως οὐ κατέσχεν ἐπιτελέσαι τὸ σχέτλιον αὐτοῦ βούλημα.
King James Version (KJV)

Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done.

Modern English

he replied, And I too am mighty on earth, and I command that arms be taken up and the king's business carried out. Yet he did not succeed in having his wicked will done.
