2 Maccabees 6:11 Context
9And whoso would not conforme themselues to the maners of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then might a man hane seene the present misery. 10For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children, whom when they had openly led round about the citie, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast them downe headlong from the wall. 11And others that had run together into caues neere by, to keepe the Sabbath day secretly, being discouered to Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to helpe themselues, for the honour of the most sacred day. 12Now I beseech those that reade this booke, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they iudge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation. 13For it is a token of his great goodnesse, when wicked doers are not suffered any longtime, but forthwith punished.
