12 Wherefore the divine vengeance is reserving you for eternal fire and torments, which shall cling to you for all time.
13 Were you not ashamed, man as you are, yet most savage, to cut out the tongues of men of like feeling and origin, and having thus abused to torture them?
14 But they, bravely dying, fulfilled their religion towards God.
15 But you shall groan according to your deserts for having slain without cause the champions of virtue.
16 Wherefore, he continued, I myself, being about to die,
17 will not forsake my brethren.
18 And I call upon the God of my fathers to be merciful to my race.
