1 The tyrant Antiochus therefore sitting in public state with his assessors on a certain lofty place with his armed troops standing in a circle around him 2 commanded his spearbearers to seize every one of the Hebrews and to compel them to taste pigs's flesh and things offered to idols
62.
14 While the tyrant incited him in this manner to the unlawful eating of flesh Eleazar begged permission to speak

2 The tyrant having given this charge seven brethren were brought into his presence along with their aged mother handsome and modest and well-born and altogether comely
69.
3 Whom when the tyrant beheld encircling their mother as in a dance he was pleased at them; and being struck with their becoming and ingenuous mien smiled on them and calling them near said: 4 O youths with favourable feelings I admire the beauty of each of you; and greatly honouring so numerous a band of brethren I not only counsel you not to share the madness of the old man who has been tortured before 5 but I do beg you to yield and to enjoy my friendship; for I possess the power not only of punishing those who disobey my commands but of doing good to those who obey them

12 And when the spearman brought forward the wheels and the racks and the hooks and catapeltae and caldrons pans and finger-racks and iron hands and wedges and bellows the tyrant continue: 13 Fear young men and the righteousness which you worship will be merciful to you if you err from compulsion
71.
14 Now they having listened to these words of persuasion and seeing the fearful instruments not only were not afraid but even answered the arguments of the tyrant and through their good reasoning destroyed his power
72.
So that as soon as the tyrant had ceased counselling them to eat the unclean they altogether with one voice as from the same heart said:
73.
1 Why do you delay O tyrant? for we are readier to die than to transgress the injunctions of our fathers
74.
3 O tyrant counsellor of law-breaking do not hating us as you do pity us more than we pity ourselves
75.
7 Make the attempt then O tyrant; and if you put us to death for our religion think not that you harm us by torturing us
76.
10 When they had so spoken the tyrant was not only exasperated against them as being refractory but enraged with them as being ungrateful
77.
14 And with every member disjointed he exclaimed in expostulation 15 O most accursed tyrant and enemy of Heavenly justice and cruel-hearted I am no murderer nor sacrilegious man whom you so ill-use; but a defender of the Divine law
78.
22 But as though transformed by fire into immortality he nobly endured the rackings saying: 23 Imitate me O brethren nor ever desert your station nor abjure my brotherhood in courage: fight the holy and honourable fight of religion; 24 by which means our just and paternal Providence becoming merciful to the nation will punish the pestilent tyrant
79.
27 And when on enquiring whether he would eat before he was tortured they heard his noble sentiment 28 after they with the iron hands had violently dragged all the flesh from the neck to the chin the panther like beasts tore off the very skin of his head but he bearing with firmness this misery said 29 How sweet is every form of death for the religion of our fathers! and he said to the tyrant 30 Think you not most cruel of all tyrants that you are now tortured more than I finding your overweening conception of tyranny conquered by our patience in behalf of our religion? 31 For I lighten my suffering by the pleasures which are connected with virtue
80.
32 But you are tortured with threatening for impiety; and you shall not escape most corrupt tyrant the vengeance of divine rage
81.
9 And when about to die he said 10 We O accursed tyrant suffer this for the sake of Divine education and virtue; 11 But you for your impiety and blood shedding shall endure indissoluble torments; 12 And so having died worthily of his brethren they dragged forward the fourth saying 13 Do not you share the madness of your brethren but give regard to the king and save yourself
82.
15 By the blessed death of my brethren and the eternal punishment of the tyrant and the glorious life of the pious I will not repudiate the noble brotherhood
83.
16 Invent O tyrant tortures; that you may learn even through them that I am the brother of those tormented before
84.
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
85.
11 With his breath so confined and his body strangled he said 12 A great favour you place on us O tyrant by enabling us to manifest our adherence to the law by means of nobler sufferings
86.
13 He also being dead the sixth quite a youth was brought out; and on the tyrant asking him whether he would eat and be delivered he said 14 I am indeed younger than my brothers but in understanding I am as old; 15 for having been born and reared to the same end we are bound to die also in behalf of the same cause
87.
21 For religious understanding O tyrant is unconquered
88.
27 For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered
89.
1 When he too had undergone blessed martyrdom and died in the caldron into which he had been thrown the seventh the youngest of all came forward: 2 whom the tyrant pitying though he had been dreadfully reproached by his brethren 3 Seeing him already encompassed with chains had him brought nearer and endeavoured to counsel him saying 4 You see the end of the madness of your brethren for they have died in torture through disobedience and you if disobedient having been miserably tormented will yourself perish prematurely
90.
10 And he running up to the pans said 11 Impious tyrant and most blasphemous man were you not ashamed having received prosperity and a kingdom from God to kill His servants and to rack the doers of godliness? 12 therefore the divine vengeance is reserving you for eternal fire and torments which shall cling to you for all time
91.
1 O reasoning of the sons Lord over the passions and religion more desirable to a mother than progeny! 2 The mother when two things were set before here religion and the safety of her seven sons for a time on the conditional promise of a tyrant 3 rather elected the religion which according to God preserves to eternal life
92.
14 O woman soldier of God for religion you aged and a female have conquered through endurance even a tyrant; and though but weak have been found more powerful in deeds and words
93.
2 O you mother who together with seven children did destroy the violence of the tyrant and render void his wicked intentions and exhibit the nobleness of faith! 3 For you as a house bravely built on the pillar of your children did bear without swaying the shock of tortures
94.
8 And it had been a worth thing to have inscribed on the tomb itself these words as a memorial to those of the nation 9 Here an aged priest and an aged woman and seven sons are buried through the violence of a tyrant who wished to destroy the polity of the Hebrews
95.
14 The tyrant was the opposite; and the world and living men were the spectators
96.
16 Who did not admire those champions of true legislation? Who were not astonied? 17 The tyrant himself and all their council admired their endurance 18 through which also they now stand beside the divine throne and live a blessed life
97.
20 These therefore having been sanctified through God have been honoured not only with this honour but that also by their means the enemy did not overcome our nation; 21 and that the tyrant was punished and their country purified
98.
23 For the tyrant Antiochus looking to their manly virtue and to their endurance in torture proclaimed that endurance as an example to his soldiers
99.
5 And the tyrant Antiochus was both punished on Earth and is punished now he is dead; for when he was quite unable to compel the Israelites to adopt foreign customs and to desert the manner of life of their fathers 6 Then departing from Jerusalem he made war against the Persians
100.
20 O that bitter and yet not bitter day when the bitter tyrant of the Greeks quenching fire with fire in his cruel caldrons brought with boiling rage the seven sons of the daughter of Abraham to the catapelt and to all his torments! 21 He pierced the balls of their eyes and cut out their tongues and put them to death with varied tortures; 22 therefore divine retribution pursued and will pursue the pestilent wretch
