4 Maccabees 15:13-15
Revised Standard Version
13 O sacred nature and affection of parental love, yearning of parents toward offspring, nurture, and indomitable suffering by mothers! 14 This mother, who saw them tortured and burned one by one, because of religion did not change her attitude. 15 She watched the flesh of her children consumed by fire, their toes and fingers scattered[a] on the ground, and the flesh of the head to the chin exposed like masks.
