2 Maccabees 2:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And we hope that God who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,

¹⁸ As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and will gather us together from every land under heaven into the holy place.

¹⁹ For he hath delivered us out of great perils, and hath cleansed the place.
