2 Maccabees 7:36-38
Common English Bible
36 Now our brothers, who endured pain for a short time, have been given eternal life under God’s covenant, but you will suffer the penalty of your arrogance by the righteous judgment of God. 37 Just like my brothers, I give up both body and life for the ancestral laws. I call upon God to be merciful to the nation without delay, and to make you confess, after you suffer trials and diseases, that only he is God. 38 Also I hope through me and my brothers to stop the anger of the almighty, who is justly punishing our entire nation.”
