2 Maccabees 9:7
Good News Translation
But this in no way caused him to give up his pride. Instead he became more arrogant than ever, and breathing out fiery threats against the Jews, he gave orders to drive even faster. As a result he fell out of his chariot with such a thud that it made every bone in his body ache.

New Revised Standard Version
Yet he did not in any way stop his insolence, but was even more filled with arrogance, breathing fire in his rage against the Jews, and giving orders to drive even faster. And so it came about that he fell out of his chariot as it was rushing along, and the fall was so hard as to torture every limb of his body.

Contemporary English Version
But the pain just made Antiochus more arrogant than ever. He shouted terrible curses against our people and ordered his chariot driver to go even faster. Not long before this, he had felt so proud and powerful that he had said to himself, "Ocean waves obey me, and mountains move at my command!" But as his chariot was speeding along, he suddenly fell to the ground with such a thud that every part of his body ached. Then he was carried away on a stretcher, and everyone saw the power of God.

New American Bible
Far from giving up his insolence, he was all the more filled with arrogance. Breathing fire in his rage against the Jews, he gave orders to drive even faster. As a result he hurtled from the speeding chariot, and every part of his body was racked by the violent fall.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body.
