3 Maccabees 6:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ Who has driven from their homes those who have faithfully commanded the fortresses of our country? Who has senselessly gathered them all in this place? ²⁶ Who has so unjustly rewarded those who from the beginning differed from all the nations in their goodwill toward us in every way, and who often have taken upon themselves the worst human dangers by mistreating them on every side? ²⁷ Release them from those undeserved chains! Send them in peace back to their homes, and seek forgiveness for the deeds that have been done.
