4 Maccabees 9:30-32

Common English Bible

³⁰ “You are the most barbaric tyrant of all. Don’t you think that you are being tortured worse than I am, since you are seeing the proud logic of tyranny defeated by our endurance for the sake of our godly way of life? ³¹ I ease my pain with the pleasure that comes from godly character. ³² But you are tortured by the threats that hang over your head, because you have no respect for God. You bloodstained tyrant, you won’t escape the revenge of divine wrath!”
