2 Maccabees 3:39

39 The God of heaven watches over the Temple; he strikes down and destroys anyone who comes to harm it."

2 Maccabees 3:39 In-Context

37 When the king asked Heliodorus who would be the best man to send on the next mission to Jerusalem, Heliodorus replied,

38 "If you have an enemy or know of someone plotting against your government, send him. He will come back badly beaten, if he comes back at all, for some strange power from God is at work there.

39 The God of heaven watches over the Temple; he strikes down and destroys anyone who comes to harm it."

40 That is the story of how the Temple treasury was protected from Heliodorus.
