2 Maccabees 9:13

Listen to 2 Maccabees 9:13
13 Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy.

2 Maccabees 9:13 In-Context

11 And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment
12 And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God.
13 Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy.
14 And the city to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a, common buryingplace, he now desireth to make free.
15 And the Jews whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians.
