2 Maccabees 7:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he looking upon the king,

¹⁶ Said: Whereas thou hast power among men, though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt: but think not that our nation is forsaken by God.

¹⁷ But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed.
