3 Maccabees 2:13
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
see now, holy King, how through our many and great sins we are borne down, and made subject to our enemies, and are become weak and powerless.
Greek · Brenton
ἰδοὺ δὴ νῦν, ἅγιε βασιλεῦ, διὰ τὰς πολλὰς καὶ μεγάλας ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίας καταπονούμεθα, καὶ ὑπετάγημεν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ἡμῶν, καὶ παρείμεθα ἐν ἀδυναμίαις.
