4 Maccabees 5:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷ It would be tyrannical for you to compel us not only to transgress the law, but also to eat in such a way that you may deride us for eating defiling foods, which are most hateful to us. ²⁸ But you shall have no such occasion to laugh at me, ²⁹ nor will I transgress the sacred oaths of my ancestors concerning the keeping of the law,
