In context
26Those things which are convenient to our souls, he has directed us to eat; but those which are repugnant to them, he has interdicted.
27But, tyrant-like, thou not only forcest us to break the law, but also to eat, that thou mayest ridicule us as we thus profanely eat:
— 4 Maccabees 5:28 —
29nor will I transgress the sacred oaths of my forefathers to keep the law.
30No, not if you pluck out my eyes, and consume my entrails.
