2 Maccabees 9:14

τὴν μὲν ἁγίαν πόλιν, ἣν σπεύδων παρεγίνετο ἰσόπεδον ποιῆσαι καὶ πολυάνδριον οἰκοδομῆσαι, ἐλευθέραν ἀναδεῖξαι,
King James Version (KJV)

That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste, to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common buryingplace,) he would set at liberty:

Modern English

that he would set free the holy city he had been rushing toward in order to level it to the ground and turn it into a mass graveyard,
