2 Maccabees 1:24 In-Context

22 And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.
23 And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.
24 And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: 0 Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the goad king,
25 Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them :
26 Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.
