In context
5but I do beg you to yield, and to enjoy my friendship; for I possess the power, not only of punishing those who disobey my commands, but of doing good to those who obey them.
6Put confidence in me, then, and you shall receive places of authority in my government, if you forsake your national ordinance,
— 4 Maccabees 8:7 —
8For if you provoke me by your disobedience, you will compel me to destroy you, every one, with terrible punishments by tortures.
9Have mercy, then, upon your own selves, whom I, although an enemy, compassionate for your age and comeliness.
