In context
17And if not able to do this, they fly circling round them in agony of affection, calling out in their own note, and save their offspring in whatever manner they are able.
18But why should we point attention to the sympathy toward children shown by irrational animals?
— 4 Maccabees 14:19 —
20But sympathy with her children did not turn aside the mother of the young men, who had a spirit kindred with that of Abraham.
