In context
15By the blessed death of my brethren, and the eternal punishment of the tyrant, and the glorious life of the pious, I will not repudiate the noble brotherhood.
16Invent, O tyrant, tortures; that you may learn, even through them, that I am the brother of those tormented before.
— 4 Maccabees 10:17 —
18But he said, Even if you take away the organ of speech, yet God hears the silent.
19Behold, my tongue is extended, cut it off; for not for that shalt thou extirpate our reasoning.
