In context
13And think it not a strange assertion that reasoning can in behalf of the law conquer even enmity.
14It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.
— 4 Maccabees 2:15 —
16For the temperate understanding repels all these malignant passions, as it does wrath: for it masters even this.
17Thus Moses, when angered against Dathan and Abiram, did nothing to them in wrath, but regulated his anger by reasoning.
