3 Maccabees 6:26-28

Common English Bible

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. ²⁸ Free the children of the almighty, living God of heaven, who from the days of our ancestors until now has given our kingdom constant and notable stability.”
