18 But he said, Even if you take away the organ of speech, yet God hears the silent.

IV Maccabees 10:18 In-Context

16 Invent, O tyrant, tortures; that you may learn, even through them, that I am the brother of those tormented before.

17 When he had said this, the blood-thirsty, and murderous, and unhallowed Antiochus ordered his tongue to be cut out.

18 But he said, Even if you take away the organ of speech, yet God hears the silent.

19 Behold, my tongue is extended, cut it off; for not for that halt thou extirpate our reasoning.

20 Gladly do we lose our limbs in behalf of God.
