4 Maccabees 9:22

²⁰And the wheel was defiled all over with blood, and the hot ashes were quenched by the droppings of gore, and pieces of flesh were scattered about the axles of the machine.

²¹And although the framework of his bones was now destroyed, the high-minded and Abrahamic youth did not groan.

— 4 Maccabees 9:22 —

²³Imitate me, O brethren, nor ever desert your station, nor abjure my brotherhood in courage: fight the holy and honorable fight of religion;

²⁴by which means our just and paternal Providence, becoming merciful to the nation, will punish the pestilent tyrant.
