"God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:"
Em contexto
19Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:
20I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.
21God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:
22We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.
23Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king’s commandment.
