3 Maccabees 2:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 For you, the creator of all things and the governor of all, are a just Ruler, and you judge those who have done anything in insolence and arrogance. 4 You destroyed those who in the past committed injustice, among whom were even giants who trusted in their strength and boldness, whom you destroyed by bringing on them a boundless flood. 5 You consumed with fire and sulphur the people of Sodom who acted arrogantly, who were notorious for their vices;[a] and you made them an example to those who should come afterwards.
