2 Maccabees 6:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Doth he also deal with us, so as to suffer our sins to come to their height, and then take vengeance on us.

¹⁶ And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: but though he chastise his people with adversity, he forsaketh them not.

¹⁷ But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers. And now we must come to the narration.
