19Blot out our iniquities, and do away with our errors, and show forth thy compassion in this hour.
20Let thy mercies quickly go before us. Grant us peace, that the cast down and brokenhearted may praise thee with their mouth.
— 3 Maccabees 2:21 —

23His friends and bodyguards, beholding the swift recompense which had suddenly overtaken him, struck with exceeding terror, and fearing that he would die, speedily removed him.
