2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 5:8

πέρας οὖν κακῆς καταστροφῆς ἔτυχεν. ἐγκληθεὶς πρὸς Ἀρέταν τὸν τῶν Ἀράβων τύραννον πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως φεύγων διωκόμενος ὑπὸ πάντων στυγούμενος ὡς τῶν νόμων ἀποστάτης καὶ βδελυσσόμενος ὡς πατρίδος καὶ πολιτῶν δήμιος εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐξεβράσθη,
King James Version (KJV)

In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt.

Modern English

His end was miserable: accused before Aretas, king of the Arabs, hunted from city to city, pursued by everyone, hated as one who had abandoned the law, and loathed as an open enemy of his own country and people, he was finally driven out into Egypt.
