3 Maccabees 6:25LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 25 of 41

"Who has gathered here, unreasonably removing each from his home, those who, in fidelity to us, had held the fortresses of the country?"
3 Maccabees 6:25

In context

23For when he heard the cry, and saw them all on the verge of destruction, with tears he angrily threatened his friends, saying,

24Ye have governed badly; and have exceeded tyrants in cruelty; and me your benefactor ye have laboured to deprive at once of my dominion and my life, by secretly devising measures injurious to the kingdom.

25Who has gathered here, unreasonably removing each from his home, those who, in fidelity to us, had held the fortresses of the country?

26Who has thus consigned to unmerited punishments those who in good will towards us from the beginning have in all things surpassed all nations, and who often have engaged in the most dangerous undertakings?

27Loose, loose the unjust bonds; send them to their homes in peace, and deprecate what has been done.
