2 Maccabees 7:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ They next brought forward the fifth brother and tortured him. ¹⁶ Directing his gaze at the king, he said: “Even though you yourself are mortal, you have authority over other mortals, and thus you can do as you please. However, do not think that God has abandoned our nation. ¹⁷ Just wait and you will see how his mighty power will torment you and your descendants.”
