4 Maccabees 9:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 we are obviously putting our forebears to shame unless we practise ready obedience to the law and to Moses[a] our counsellor. 3 Tyrant and counsellor of lawlessness, in your hatred for us do not pity us more than we pity ourselves.[b] 4 For we consider this pity of yours, which ensures our safety through transgression of the law, to be more grievous than death itself.
