4 Maccabees 10:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The guards were furious at his bold speech. They used their instruments to pull his hands and feet out of joint, and dislocated his arms and legs. ⁶ Then they broke his fingers, arms, legs, and elbows. ⁷ In spite of this, they weren’t strong enough to break his will, so they put away their tools and tore off his scalp the way the Scythians do it—they used their fingernails.
