“And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired: but if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto.”
King James Version (KJV)
(Why is 2 Maccabees shown with the King James Bible?)

First time I read in the Bible a statement that makes me wonder about the authority of God's inspiration of a book. God will never apologize to men what He wants to communicate through scripture."And if I haue done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired: but if slenderly, and meanly, it is that which I could attaine vnto." First of all - God said in Genesis when He created the world that everything He done was good because He is perfect and He knows everything because He is in control of everything and do whatever He wants. Second: God will never do something slander or meanly which mean(Deficient in amount or quality or extent). Having said that I can't accept this book as the Word of God.
