2 Maccabees 3:36-40 World English Bible (WEB)

36. And he testified to all men the works of the great God which he had seen with his eyes.

37. And when the king asked Heliodorus, what manner of man was fit to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said,

38. If you have any enemy or conspirator against the state, send him there, and you shall receive him back well scourged, if he even escape with his life; because of a truth there is about the place a power of God.

39. For he that has his dwelling in heaven himself has his eyes upon that place, and helps it; and them that come to hurt it he smiteth and destroys.

40. And such was the history of Heliodorus and the keeping of the treasury.
