2 Maccabees 5:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ Antiochus was so aliened (or alienated) from mind, or understanding, and beheld not, that, for (the) sins of men inhabiting, the Lord was wroth (for) a little (while) to the city; for which thing also despising befell about the place.

¹⁸ (Or) Else if it had not befallen them for to be wrapped in many sins, as Heliodorus, that was sent from king Seleucus for to rob the treasury, also this (man) anon (or at once) coming should be beaten, and forsooth put aback from (his) hardiness.

¹⁹ But the Lord chose not the folk for the place, but (the) place for the folk.
