4 Maccabees 6:23

23 As for you, soldiers of the tyrant, what are you waiting for?"

4 Maccabees 6:23 In-Context

21 This tyrant would look down on us as cowards because we weren't willing to defend the divine Law to the point of death.

22 For all these reasons, children of Abraham, die well for the sake of showing God proper respect!

23 As for you, soldiers of the tyrant, what are you waiting for?"

24 When the king's advisors saw that he remained confident in the face of torture and didn't appreciate their compassion, the guards carried him to the fire.

25 They burned his body with diabolical devices, and then they threw him on the ground and poured disgusting liquids into his nostrils.
