2 Maccabees 15:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib:

²³ Send now also, O Lord of heaven, thy good angel before us, for the fear and dread of the greatness of thy arm,

²⁴ That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people. And thus he concluded his prayer.
