4 Maccabees 12:10

10 He ran to the nearest container of burning coal

4 Maccabees 12:10 In-Context

8 he said, "Let me go. I want to speak to the king and all his friends."
9 They were very happy with the boy's announcement, so they quickly let him go.
10 He ran to the nearest container of burning coal
11 and said, "You unholy tyrant! Of all evil people, you are the farthest from God! You received your kingdom and all good things from God. So why have you felt no shame for murdering God's servants and torturing the champions of the godly way of life?
12 For these actions, justice is waiting for you with a stronger and everlasting fire and torture, from which you will never, ever be released!
