2 Maccabees 6:16 Context
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. 17But let this that we haue spoken be for a warning vnto vs: And nowe will wee come to the declaring of the matter in few words. 18Eleazar one of the principall Scribes, an aged man, and of a well fauoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eate swines flesh.
