Deuteronomy 13.0: 
13
Deuteronomy 13.1: 1 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13.2: 2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
Deuteronomy 13.3: 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 13.4: 4 You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
Deuteronomy 13.5: 5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 13.6: 6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
Deuteronomy 13.7: 7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth—
Deuteronomy 13.8: 8 you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;
Deuteronomy 13.9: 9 but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
Deuteronomy 13.10: 10 You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy 13.11: 11 All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
Deuteronomy 13.12: 12 If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that
Deuteronomy 13.13: 13 certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,
Deuteronomy 13.14: 14 then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,
Deuteronomy 13.15: 15 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
Deuteronomy 13.16: 16 You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
Deuteronomy 13.17: 17 Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 13.18: 18 when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.
Daniel 6.0: 
6
Daniel 6.1: 1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
Daniel 6.2: 2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
Daniel 6.3: 3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel 6.4: 4 Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.
Daniel 6.5: 5 Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”
Daniel 6.6: 6 Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!
Daniel 6.7: 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Daniel 6.8: 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
Daniel 6.9: 9 Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Daniel 6.10: 10 When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
Daniel 6.11: 11 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Daniel 6.12: 12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?”
The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
Daniel 6.13: 13 Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
Daniel 6.14: 14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
Daniel 6.15: 15 Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
Daniel 6.16: 16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”
Daniel 6.17: 17 A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
Daniel 6.18: 18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
Daniel 6.19: 19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
Daniel 6.20: 20 When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”
Daniel 6.21: 21 Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!
Daniel 6.22: 22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
Daniel 6.23: 23 Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
Daniel 6.24: 24 The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
Daniel 6.25: 25 Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:
“Peace be multiplied to you.
Daniel 6.26: 26 “I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel;
“for he is the living God,
and steadfast forever.
His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed.
His dominion will be even to the end.
Daniel 6.27: 27 He delivers and rescues.
He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth,
who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
Daniel 6.28: 28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

4 Maccabees 8.0: 
8
4 Maccabees 8.1: 1 Then, indeed, vehemently swayed with passion, he commanded to bring others of the adult Hebrews, and if they would eat of the unclean thing, to let them go when they had eaten; but if they objected, to torment them more grievously.
4 Maccabees 8.2: 2 The tyrant having given this charge, seven kindred were brought into his presence, along with their aged mother, handsome, and modest, and well-born, and altogether comely.
4 Maccabees 8.3: 3 When the tyrant saw them encircling their mother as in a dance, he was pleased at them; and being struck with their becoming and innocent manner, smiled upon them, and calling them near, said:
4 Maccabees 8.4: 4 O youths, with favorable feelings, I admire the beauty of each of you; and greatly honouring so numerous a band of kindred, I not only counsel you not to share the madness of the old man who has been tortured before,
4 Maccabees 8.5: 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.
4 Maccabees 8.6: 6 Put confidence in me, then, and you shall receive places of authority in my government, if you forsake your national ordinance,
4 Maccabees 8.7: 7 and, conforming to the Greek mode of life, alter your rule, and revel in youth’s delights.
4 Maccabees 8.8: 8 For if you provoke me by your disobedience, you will compel me to destroy you, every one, with terrible punishments by tortures.
4 Maccabees 8.9: 9 Have mercy, then, upon your own selves, whom I, although an enemy, compassionate for your age and attractive appearance.
4 Maccabees 8.10: 10 Will you not reason upon this—that if you disobey, there will be nothing left for you but to die in tortures?
4 Maccabees 8.11: 11 Thus speaking, he ordered the instruments of torture to be brought forward, that very fear might prevail upon them to eat unclean meat.
4 Maccabees 8.12: 12 And when the spearman brought forward the wheels, and the racks, and the hooks, and catapults, and caldrons, pans, and finger-racks, and iron hands and wedges, and bellows, the tyrant continue:
4 Maccabees 8.13: 13 Fear, young men, and the righteousness which you° worship will be merciful to you if you err from compulsion.
4 Maccabees 8.14: 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.
4 Maccabees 8.15: 15 Now let’s consider the matter: had any of them been weak-spirited and cowardly among them, what reasoning would they have employed but these?
4 Maccabees 8.16: 16 O wretched that we are, and exceedingly senseless! when the king exhorts us, and calls us to his bounty, should we not obey him?
4 Maccabees 8.17: 17 Why do we cheer ourselves with vain counsels, and venture upon a disobedience bringing death?
4 Maccabees 8.18: 18 Shall we not fear, O kindred, the instruments of torture and weigh the threatenings of torment and shun this vain-glory and destructive pride?
4 Maccabees 8.19: 19 Let’s have compassion upon our age and relent over the years of our mother.
4 Maccabees 8.20: 20 And let’s bear in mind that we shall be dying as rebels.
4 Maccabees 8.21: 21 And Divine Justice will pardon us if we fear the king through necessity.
4 Maccabees 8.22: 22 Why withdraw ourselves from a most sweet life, and deprive ourselves of this pleasant world?
4 Maccabees 8.23: 23 Let’s not oppose necessity, nor seek vain-glory by our own excruciation.
4 Maccabees 8.24: 24 The law itself is not forward to put us to death, if we dread torture.
4 Maccabees 8.25: 25 Whence has such angry zeal taken root in us, and such fatal obstinacy approved itself to us, when we might live unmolested by the king?
4 Maccabees 8.26: 26 But nothing of this kind did the young men say or think when about to be tortured.
4 Maccabees 8.27: 27 For they were well aware of the sufferings, and masters of the pains.
4 Maccabees 8.28: 28-29 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:
4 Maccabees 8.29: 28-29 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:
