II Maccabees 7:6

Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, *as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle; And in his servants he will take pleasure.

Deuteronomy 22:36.

Pleasure. Literally, "be comforted," as the Septuagint translate, (Haydock) Deuteronomy 32:36. It may imply that God will avenge or chastise his servants, and then restore them to favour. This latter sense is here adopted, ver. 35.
