4 Maccabees 18:22

²⁰O that bitter, and yet not bitter, day when the bitter tyrant of the Greeks, quenching fire with fire in his cruel caldrons, brought with boiling rage the seven sons of the daughter of Abraham to the catapult, and to all his torments!

²¹He pierced the balls of their eyes, and cut out their tongues, and put them to death with varied tortures.

— 4 Maccabees 18:22 —

²³But the children of Abraham, with their victorious mother, are assembled together to the choir of their fathers; having received pure and immortal souls from God.

²⁴To whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
