3 Maccabees 2:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁸ ‘We have trampled down the house of holiness as the houses of the abominations are trampled down.’^{(A) 19} Wipe away our sins and disperse our errors and reveal your mercy at this hour. ²⁰ Speedily let your mercies overtake us, put praises in the mouths of those who are downcast and broken in spirit, and give us peace.”
