2 Maccabees 1:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.

²⁷ Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.

²⁸ Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride.
