2 Maccabees 3:39DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 39 of 40
"For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor, and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it."
In context
37And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said:
38If thou hast any enemy or traitor to thy kingdom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God.
39For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor, and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it.
40And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury fell out in this manner.
