2 Maccabees 6:14 Context
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. 14For not as with other nations whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulnesse of their sinnes, so dealeth he with vs, 15Lest that being come to the height of sinne, afterwards hee should take vengeance of vs. 16And therfore he neuer withdraweth his mercie from vs: and though he punish with aduersitie, yet doeth he neuer forsake his people.
