21
For religious knowledge, O tyrant, is invincible.
22
I also, equipped with nobility, will die with my brothers,
23
and I myself will bring a great avenger upon you, you inventor of tortures and enemy of those who are truly devout.
24
We six boys have paralyzed your tyranny!
25
Since you have not been able to persuade us to change our mind or to force us to eat defiling foods, is not this your downfall?
26
Your fire is cold to us, and the catapults painless, and your violence powerless.
