2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 3:12

ἀδικηθῆναι δὲ τοὺς πεπιστευκότας τῇ τοῦ τόπου ἁγιωσύνῃ καὶ τῇ τοῦ τετιμημένου κατὰ τὸν σύμπαντα κόσμον ἱεροῦ σεμνότητι καὶ ἀσυλίᾳ παντελῶς ἀμήχανον εἶναι.
King James Version (KJV)

And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

Modern English

He said it would be utterly wrong to harm those who had trusted their money to the sanctity of the place and to the majesty and inviolable holiness of a temple honored throughout the world.
