2 Maccabees 7:31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God.
2 Maccabees 7:32 For we suffer because of our sins.
2 Maccabees 7:33 And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.
2 Maccabees 7:34 But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God:
2 Maccabees 7:35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty God, who seeth all things.
2 Maccabees 7:36 For our brethren, who now have suffered a short pain, are dead under God's covenant of everlasting life: but thou, through the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.
2 Maccabees 7:37 But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be merciful unto our nation; and that thou by torments and plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God;
2 Maccabees 7:38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon our nation, may cease.
