2 Maccabees 7:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ Then the soldiers took the sixth boy, and just before he died he said,
    Make no mistake. We are suffering what we deserve, because we have sinned against our God. That's why all these terrible things are happening to us. ¹⁹ But don't think for a minute that you will avoid being punished for fighting against God.
