2 Maccabees 9:7–12

7 Howbeit 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. 8 And 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. 9 So that rthe worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army. 10 And the man, that thought a little afore she could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his intolerable stink.

11 tHere therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the uscourge of God, his pain increasing every wmoment. 12 And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, xIt is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself, as if he were God.
