LXX 2 Macc 15:21 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
συνιδὼν ὁ Μακκαβαῖος τὴν τῶν πληθῶν παρουσίαν καὶ τῶν ὅπλων τὴν ποικίλην παρασκευήν, τήν τε τῶν θηρίων ἐπὶ μέρος εὔκαιρον ἀγριότητα, ἀνατείνας χεῖρας εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν τερατοποιὸν κύριον, γινώσκων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν δι᾿ ὅπλων, καθὼς δὲ ἐὰν αὐτῷ κριθῇ, τοῖς ἀξίοις περιποιεῖται τὴν νίκην.
Machabeus considering the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretching out his hands to heaven, called upon the Lord, that worketh wonders, who giveth victory to them that are worthy, not according to the power of their arms, but according as it seemeth good to him.
