2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 5:7

τῆς μὲν ἀρχῆς οὐκ ἐκράτησεν, τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς ἐπιβουλῆς αἰσχύνην λαβὼν φυγὰς πάλιν εἰς τὴν Αμμανῖτιν ἀπῆλθεν.
King James Version (KJV)

Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

Modern English

Even so, he did not regain power, but in the end reaped only shame as the reward of his treachery, and fled once more into the land of the Ammonites.
