2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 6:25

καὶ αὐτοὶ διὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ὑπόκρισιν καὶ διὰ τὸ μικρὸν καὶ ἀκαριαῖον ζῆν πλανηθῶσιν δι’ ἐμέ, καὶ μύσος καὶ κηλῖδα τοῦ γήρως κατακτήσωμαι.
King James Version (KJV)

And so they through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live a little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable.

Modern English

and through my hypocrisy, for the sake of a brief and fleeting extension of life, they would be led astray by me, while I would bring shame and disgrace upon my old age.
