IV Maccabees 12:18

18 And I call upon the God of my fathers to be merciful to my race.

IV Maccabees 12:18 In-Context

16 Wherefore, he continued, I myself, being about to die,

17 will not forsake my brethren.

18 And I call upon the God of my fathers to be merciful to my race.

19 But thee, both living and dead, he will punish.

20 Thus having prayed, he hurled himself into the pans; and so expired.
