2 Maccabees 6:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ For why, not as in other nations, the Lord abideth patiently, (so) that when the day of doom shall come, he punish them in (the) plenty of (their) sins, so and in us he ordaineth,

¹⁵ that when our sins be turned about into (the) end, so at the last he (a)venge on us.

¹⁶ For which thing soothly he never removeth his mercy from us; but he chastiseth his people, and forsaketh not in adversities.
