2 Maccabees 7:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Just wait and you will see how his mighty power will torment you and your descendants.”

¹⁸ After him they brought forward the sixth brother. When he was about to die, he said: “Do not have any vain delusions. We are suffering these torments deservedly because we have sinned against our God and brought these appalling events on ourselves. ¹⁹ However, do not think that you will avoid the consequences of having dared to contend with God.”
