3 Maccabees 2:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 33
"see 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."
In context
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.
15Thy dwelling-place, the heaven of heavens, is indeed unapproachable to men.
