3 Maccabees 5:30-32
Common English Bible
30 But at these words the king was filled with extreme wrath because the providence of God had scattered every thought of his concerning these matters. He glared threateningly at Hermon and said, 31 “If your parents or children were here, I would have them prepared[a] as a lavish meal for wild animals instead of the Jews. They are blameless as far as I’m concerned, and have demonstrated constant loyalty above all others toward my ancestors. 32 Indeed, if it weren’t for the affection of our common upbringing and your service, you would’ve been deprived of life instead of them.”
