3 Maccabees 2:12LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 12 of 33
"And whereas thou didst often aid our fathers when hard pressed, and in low estate, and deliveredst them out of great dangers,"
In context
10And thou didst promise, out of love to the house of Israel, that should we fall away from thee, and become afflicted, and then come to this house and pray, thou wouldest hear our prayer.
11Verily thou art faithful and true.
12And whereas thou didst often aid our fathers when hard pressed, and in low estate, and deliveredst them out of great dangers,
13see now, holy King, how through our many and great sins we are borne down, and made subject to our enemies, and are become weak and powerless.
14We being in this low condition, this bold and profane man seeks to dishonour this thy holy place, consecrated out of the earth to the name of thy Majesty.
