4 Maccabees 9:7

⁵And you think to scare us, by threatening us with death by tortures, as though thou hadst learned nothing by the death of Eleazar.

⁶But if aged men of the Hebrews have died in the cause of religion after enduring torture, more rightly should we younger men die, scorning your cruel tortures, which our aged instructor overcame.

— 4 Maccabees 9:7 —

⁸For we through this ill-treatment and endurance shall bear off the rewards of virtue.

⁹But thou, for the wicked and despotic slaughter of us, shalt, from the Divine vengeance, endure eternal torture by fire.
