3 Maccabees 5:33-35

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³³ So Hermon suffered an unexpected and dangerous threat, and his eyes wavered and his face fell. ³⁴ The king’s Friends one by one sullenly slipped away and dismissed^[a] the assembled people to their own occupations. ³⁵ Then the Jews, on hearing what the king had said, praised the manifest Lord God, King of kings, since this also was his aid that they had received.
