2 Maccabees 3:38

38 "If you have any enemy or plotter against your government, send him there, for you will get him back thoroughly scourged, if he escapes at all, for there certainly is about the place some power of God.

2 Maccabees 3:38 In-Context

36 And he bore testimony to all men of the deeds of the supreme God, which he had seen with his own eyes.

37 When the king asked Heliodorus what sort of person would be suitable to send on another mission to Jerusalem, he replied,

38 "If you have any enemy or plotter against your government, send him there, for you will get him back thoroughly scourged, if he escapes at all, for there certainly is about the place some power of God.

39 For he who has his dwelling in heaven watches over that place himself and brings it aid, and he strikes and destroys those who come to do it injury."

40 This was the outcome of the episode of Heliodorus and the protection of the treasury.
