2 Maccabees 3:40 In-Context

38 "If you have an enemy or someone plotting against your government, send him, and he will come back badly beaten if he should come back at all, because some divine power truly surrounds the temple.

39 The one who lives in heaven watches over that place and will strike and destroy anyone coming with evil intent."
