- "In vainª have I smittenª°¹ your children;ª they receivedª° no¹ correction:ª your own swordª hath devouredª° your prophets,ª like a destroyingª° lion.ª" {Jer 2:30} + "But I¹ [was] like a lambª [or] an oxª [that] is broughtª° to the slaughter;ª° and I knewª° not¹ that¹ they had devisedª° devicesª against¹ me, [saying], Let us destroyª° the treeª with the fruitª thereof, and let us cut him offª° from the landª¹ of the living,ª that his nameª may be no¹ more¹ remembered.ª° ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of¹ the men²¹ of Anathoth,ª that seekª°¹ thy life,ª saying,ª° Prophesyª° not¹ in the nameª of the LORD,ª that thou dieª° not¹ by our hand:ª" {Jer 11:19-21} + "If¹ thou hast runª° with¹ the footmen,ª and they have weariedª° thee, then how¹ canst thou contendª° with¹ horses?ª and [if] in the landª of peace,ª [wherein] thou¹ trustedst,ª° [they wearied thee], then how¹ wilt thou doª° in the swellingª of Jordan?ª ... For¹ even¹ thy brethren,ª and the houseª of thy father,ª even¹ they¹ have dealt treacherouslyª° with thee; yea,¹ they¹ have calledª° a multitudeª afterª thee: believeª° them not,¹ though¹ they speakª° fair wordsª unto¹ thee." {Jer 12:5-6} + "Then saidª° they, Come,²°¹ and let us deviseª° devicesª against¹ Jeremiah;ª for¹ the lawª shall not¹ perishª° from the priest,ª¹ nor counselª from the wise,ª¹ nor the wordª from the prophet.ª¹ Come,²°¹ and let us smiteª° him with the tongue,ª and let us not¹ give heedª° to¹ any¹ of his words.ª" {Jer 18:18} + "Now Pashurª the sonª of Immerª the priest,ª who¹ [was] also chief²¹ governor²¹ in the houseª of the LORD,ª heardª° that¹ Jeremiahª prophesiedª°¹ these¹ things.ª ... Then Pashurª smoteª°¹ Jeremiahª the prophet,ª and putª° him in¹ the stocksª that¹ [were] in the highª gateª of Benjamin,ª which¹ [was] by the houseª of the LORD.ª" {Jer 20:1-2} + "For¹ sinceª¹ I spake,ª° I cried out,ª° I criedª° violenceª and spoil;ª because¹ the wordª of the LORDª was made¹ a reproachª unto me, and a derision,ª daily.ª¹ ... But the LORDª [is] with¹ me as a mightyª terrible one:ª therefore¹¹ my persecutorsª° shall stumble,ª° and they shall not¹ prevail:ª° they shall be greatlyª ashamed;ª° for¹ they shall not¹ prosper:ª° [their] everlastingª confusionª shall never¹ be forgotten.ª°" {Jer 20:8-11} + "But they mockedª°¹ the messengersª of God,ª and despisedª° his words,ª and misusedª° his prophets,ª until¹ the wrathª of the LORDª aroseª° against his people,ª till¹ [there was] no¹ remedy.ª" {2Ch 36:16} + "For the sinsª¹ of her prophets,ª [and] the iniquitiesª of her priests,ª that have shedª° the bloodª of the justª in the midstª of her, ... They have wanderedª° [as] blindª [men] in the streets,ª they have pollutedª° themselves with blood,ª so that men couldª° notª touchª° their garments.ª" {Lam 4:13-14} + "Andª the¹ husbandmenª tookª° hisª servants,ª and beatª° one,ª²¹ andª killedª° another,ª andª stonedª° another.ª ... Andª they caughtª° him,ª and¹ castª° [him] out¹ of² the¹ vineyard,ª andª slewª° [him]." {Mtt 21:35-39} + "Andª the¹ remnantª tookª° hisª servants,ª and entreated [them] spitefully,ª° andª slewª° [them]." {Mtt 22:6} + "Whereforeª ye be witnessesª° unto yourselves,ª thatª ye areª° the childrenª of them which killedª° the¹ prophets.ª ... Thatª uponª youª may comeª° allª the righteousª bloodª shedª° uponª the¹ earth,ª fromª the¹ bloodª of righteousª Abelª untoª the¹ bloodª of Zachariasª sonª of Barachias,ª whomª ye slewª° betweenª the¹ templeª andª the¹ altar.ª" {Mtt 23:31-35} + "Thenª assembled togetherª° the¹ chief priests,ª andª the¹ scribes,ª andª the¹ eldersª of the¹ people,ª untoª the¹ palaceª of the¹ high priest,ª who² was calledª° Caiaphas,ª ... Andª consultedª° thatª they might takeª° Jesusª by subtilty,ª andª killª° [him]." {Mtt 26:3-4} + "Nowª the¹ chief priests,ª andª elders,ª andª allª the¹ council,ª soughtª° false witnessª againstª Jesus,ª toª put²° him² to death;ª°¹ ... Whatª thinkª° ye?ª¹ They¹ answeredª° and² said,ª° He isª° guiltyª of death.ª" {Mtt 26:59-66} + "Whenª they¹ heardª° [that], they were cutª° [to the heart], andª took counselª° to slayª° them.ª" {Act 5:33} + "Whichª of the¹ prophetsª have²° notª yourª fathersª persecuted?ª° andª they have slainª° them which² shewed beforeª° ofª the¹ comingª of the¹ Just One;ª of whomª yeª have beenª° nowª the betrayersª andª murderers:ª" {Act 7:52} + "Andª inª herª was foundª° the bloodª of prophets,ª andª of saints,ª andª of allª that were slainª° uponª the¹ earth.ª" {Rev 18:24}
