2 Maccabees 9:5–8

⁵But the Lord ^lAlmighty, the God of Israel, smote him with an incurable and invisible plague: for as soon as he had spoken these words, ^ma pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts; ^6mmand that most justly: for he had tormented other men’s bowels with many and strange torments. ⁷Howbeit he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, ⁿbreathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey: but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained. ⁸And thus he that a little afore thought ^ohe might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and ^pweigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in ^qa horse litter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.
