2 Maccabees 9:26-28

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁶ I therefore urge and beg you to remember the public and private services rendered to you and to maintain your present goodwill, each of you, towards me and my son. ²⁷ For I am sure that he will follow my policy and will treat you with moderation and kindness.’

²⁸ So the murderer and blasphemer, having endured the more intense suffering, such as he had inflicted on others, came to the end of his life by a most pitiable fate, among the mountains in a strange land.
