In context
19For why, else, does our most wise father Jacob blame Simeon and Levi for having irrationally slain the whole race of the Shechemites, saying, Cursed be their anger.
20For if reasoning did not possess the power of subduing angry affections, he would not have spoken thus.
— 4 Maccabees 2:21 —
22And at that time He enthroned above all the holy leader mind, through the medium of the senses.
23And He gave a law to this mind, by living according to which it will maintain a temperate, and just, and good, and manly reign.
