4 Maccabees 8:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Trust me! Abandon your traditional way of life, and I will give you positions in my government. ⁸ Enjoy your youth by changing your customs and adopting the Greek way of life. ⁹ However, if you disobey me and make me angry, you will force me to destroy each and every one of you with terrible punishments and tortures.
