20 But sympathy with her children did not turn aside the mother of the young men, who had a spirit kindred with that of Abraham.

IV Maccabees 14:20 In-Context

18 But why should we point attention to the sympathy toward children shewn by irrational animals?

19 The very bees, at the season of honey-making, attack all who approach; and pierce with their sting, as with a sword, those who draw near their hive, and repel them even unto death.

20 But sympathy with her children did not turn aside the mother of the young men, who had a spirit kindred with that of Abraham.
