3 Maccabees 2:12-15 World English Bible (WEB)

12. And when you did often aid our fathers when hard pressed, and in low estate, and delivered them out of gret dangers,

13. 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.

14. We being in this low condition, this bold and profane man seeks to dishonor this your holy place, consecrated out of the earth to the name of your Majesty.

15. Your dwelling place, the heaven of heavens, is indeed unapproachable to men.
