In context
23I, too, bearing with me a great avenger, O deviser of tortures, and enemy of the truly pious.
24We six youths have destroyed thy tyranny.
— 4 Maccabees 11:25 —
26Your fire is cold to us, your catapults are painless, and your violence harmless.
27For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered.
