2 Maccabees 7:36 Context
34But thou, O godlesse man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted vp without a cause, nor puffed vp with vncertaine hopes, lifting vp thy hand against the seruants of God: 35For thou hast not yet escaped the iudgement of Almightie God, who seeth all things. 36For our brethren who now haue suffered a short paine, are dead vnder Gods Couenant of euerlasting life: but thou through the iudgement of God, shalt receiue iust punishment for thy pride. 37But I, as my brethren, offer vp my body, and life for the Lawes of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily bee mercifull vnto our nation, and that thou by torments & plagues mayest confesse, that he alone is God; 38And that in me, and my brethren, the wrath of the Almighty, which is iustly brought vpon all our nation, may cease.
