4 Maccabees 11:1-4 World English Bible (WEB)

1. And when he had died, disfigured in his torments, the fifth leaped forward, and said,

2. I intend not, O tyrant, to get excused from the torment which is in behalf of virtue.

3. But I have come of mine own accord, that by the death of me, you may owe heavenly vengeance a punishment for more crimes.

4. O you hater of virtue and of men, what have we done that you thus revel in our blood?
