3 Maccabees 6:11

Listen to 3 Maccabees 6:11
11 Let not the vain-minded praise their vanities at the destruction of your beloved people, saying, "Not even their god has rescued them.'

3 Maccabees 6:11 In-Context

9 And now, you who hate insolence, all-merciful and protector of all, reveal yourself quickly to those of the nation of Israel —who are being outrageously treated by the abominable and lawless Gentiles.
10 "Even if our lives have become entangled in impieties in our exile, rescue us from the hand of the enemy, and destroy us, Lord, by whatever fate you choose.
11 Let not the vain-minded praise their vanities at the destruction of your beloved people, saying, "Not even their god has rescued them.'
12 But you, O Eternal One, who have all might and all power, watch over us now and have mercy on us who by the senseless insolence of the lawless are being deprived of life in the manner of traitors.
13 And let the Gentiles cower today in fear of your invincible might, O honored One, who have power to save the nation of Jacob.
