2 Maccabees 7:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of the almighty God, who beholdeth all things.

³⁶ For my brethren, having now undergone a short pain, are under the covenant of eternal life: but thou by the judgment of God shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.

³⁷ But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God.
