3 Maccabees 6:27LXX

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.

28Release the sons of the almighty living God of heaven, who from our ancestors' times until now has granted a glorious and uninterrupted prosperity to our affairs.

29These things he said: and they, released the same moment, having now escaped death, praised God their holy Saviour.
