2 Maccabees 9:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ I am confident that he will treat you with fairness and kindness, just as I have always done.

²⁸ And so, this murderer, who had cursed God, suffered the same terrible agonies he had brought on others, and then died a miserable death in the mountains of a foreign land. ²⁹ One of his close friends, Philip, took his body home; but, because he was afraid of Antiochus' son, he went on to King Ptolemy Philometor of Egypt.
