3 Maccabees 2:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ You destroyed those who did evil in the past, even giants. The giants trusted in their bodily strength and boldness, but you destroyed them in a great flood. ⁵ The people of Sodom acted arrogantly and were notorious for their wicked deeds.^[a] You destroyed them with fire and sulfur, making them an example to others for all time. ⁶ When the arrogant ruler of Egypt enslaved your holy people Israel, you tested him with many, varied punishments. You made your power known; indeed, you made known your great strength.
