2 Maccabees 7:32-34

Common English Bible

³² We are suffering because of our own sins. ³³ If our living Lord is angry for a short time in order to rebuke and discipline us, he will again be reconciled with his own servants. ³⁴ But you, unholy man, the most bloodstained of all people, don’t be so proud without having cause. Bloated by futile hope, you raise up your hand against the children of heaven.
