4 Maccabees 5:32

32 Therefore get your torture wheels ready and fan the fire more vehemently!

4 Maccabees 5:32 In-Context

30 not even if you gouge out my eyes and burn my entrails.

31 I am not so old and cowardly as not to be young in reason on behalf of piety.

32 Therefore get your torture wheels ready and fan the fire more vehemently!

33 I do not so pity my old age as to break the ancestral law by my own act.

34 I will not play false to you, O law that trained me, nor will I renounce you, beloved self-control.
