4 Maccabees 5:29

29 I'm not going to break the sacred promises my ancestors made to keep the Law,

4 Maccabees 5:29 In-Context

27 You are acting like a tyrant, trying not only to force us to break our Law but you are trying also to make us eat forbidden food that we hate just so you can make fun of us.

28 You won't have a chance to laugh at me.

29 I'm not going to break the sacred promises my ancestors made to keep the Law,

30 not even if you dig out my eyes and set my guts on fire.

31 I'm not so old and cowardly that I can't exhibit youthful strength in my mind out of respect for God.
