4 Maccabees 15:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷ O woman, who alone gave birth to such perfect piety! ¹⁸ Neither when the firstborn breathed his last, it did not turn you aside, nor when the second in torments looked at you piteously nor when the third expired, ¹⁹ nor did you weep when you looked at the eyes of each one in his tortures gazing boldly at the same agonies and saw in their nostrils the signs of the approach of death.
