IV Maccabees 11:23

23 I, too, bearing with me a great avenger, O deviser of tortures, and enemy of the truly pious.

IV Maccabees 11:23 In-Context

21 For religious understanding, O tyrant, is unconquered.

22 Armed with upright virtue, I also shall depart with my brethren.

23 I, too, bearing with me a great avenger, O deviser of tortures, and enemy of the truly pious.

24 We six youths have destroyed thy tyranny.

25 For is not your inability to overrule our reasoning, and to compel us to eat the unclean, thy destruction?
