2 Maccabees 9:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ Now I strongly urge each of you to keep in mind the good things that I have done for you, both individually and as a nation, and to continue in your good will toward me and my son. ²⁷ I am confident that he will treat you with fairness and kindness, just as I have always done.

²⁸ And so, this murderer, who had cursed God, suffered the same terrible agonies he had brought on others, and then died a miserable death in the mountains of a foreign land.
