2 Maccabees 15:14-16

Good News Translation

This is God's prophet Jeremiah, who loves the Jewish people and offers many prayers for us and for Jerusalem, the holy city.

¹⁵ Then Jeremiah stretched out his right hand and gave Judas a gold sword, saying as he did so,
¹⁶     This holy sword is a gift from God. Take it and destroy your enemies.
