1O mother, soldier of God in the cause of piety, old woman and woman! By perseverance you defeated even the tyrant.
2You revealed yourself more powerful than a man in deeds, and stronger than men in words.
3For when you were seized with your sons, you remained firm, seeing Eleazar being tortured.
4And you said to your sons in the Hebrew language: My sons, noble is the struggle, to which you have been called to give testimony for the nation.
5Fight zealously for the law of our fathers.
6For it would be shameful if, while this old man endures the pains for the sake of piety, you, young men, should fear the tortures.
7Remember that it is because of God that you partake of the world and enjoy life.
8Therefore you must endure any suffering for the sake of God.
9For his sake also our father Abraham hastened to sacrifice Isaac, his son, the father of nations.
10And Isaac, seeing the hand of his father descend with the knife against him, did not draw back.
