2 Maccabees 7:34-36

New Catholic Bible

³⁴ However, you, perfidious wretch, are the most wicked of all mortal beings. Do not allow yourself to be deluded by vain hopes when you raise your hand against the children of Heaven, ³⁵ for you will not be able to escape from the judgment of the almighty and all-seeing God. ³⁶ My brothers, after enduring a brief period of suffering, have now drunk of the waters of everlasting life in accordance with his covenant, but you, convicted by the judgment of God, will receive a richly warranted punishment for your arrogance.
