2 Maccabees 9:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ I pray you therefore, and request of you, that remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son.

²⁷ For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you.

²⁸ Thus the murderer and blasphemer, being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country among the mountains.
