2 Maccabees 7:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ Just wait and observe his great strength, when God will torture you and your children.”

¹⁸ After him they brought forward the sixth brother. As he was about to die, he said, “Don’t deceive yourself in vain. We suffer these things because of our own sins against our God. Things worthy of wonder have happened. ¹⁹ But don’t think you will escape unpunished after trying to fight against God.”
