2 Maccabees 2:1-2

Wycliffe Bible

2 Forsooth it is found in (the) writings [or in (the) describings] of Jeremy (or Jeremiah), the prophet, that he commanded them that passed over (or who were carried away), for to take (of the) fire, as it is signified, and as he bade to men passing over, or (taken) captive.

² And he gave to them the law, lest they forgot the behests (or the commandments) of the Lord; and that they should not err in (their) souls, [or understandings], seeing golden and silvern simulacra, and (the) ornaments or adornments of them.
