4 Maccabees 15:31-32

Common English Bible

³¹ Noah’s ark, which carried the future of the whole world inside of it during the flood that swallowed up creation, steadily endured the waves. In the same way, you, the guardian of the Law, endured the storms honorably for the sake of the godly way of life, ³² though you were battered from every side by the flood of the emotions and by the strong winds of your children’s torture.
