2 Maccabees 15:39

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

For as it is distasteful to drink wine alone and in like manner again to drink water alone, while the mingling of wine with water at once giveth full pleasantness to the flavour; so also the fashioning of the language delighteth the ears of them that read the story. And here shall be the end. THE END OF APOCRYPHA.
