2 Maccabees 7:32-34

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³² For we suffer thus for our sins.

³³ And though the Lord our God is angry with us a little while for our chastisement and correction: yet he will be reconciled again to his servants.

³⁴ But thou, O wicked and of all men most flagitious, be not lifted up without cause with vain hopes, whilst thou art raging against his servants.
