Ὅπως ἔλθῃ ἐφ ̓ ὑμᾶς πᾶν αἷμα δίκαιον, ἐκχυνόμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος Αβελ τοῦ δικαίου, ἕως τοῦ αἵματος Ζαχας ρίου υἱοῦ Βαραχίου, ὃν ἐφονεύσατε μεταξὺ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

That a upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from b the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. a And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life

of man.

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man, Gen. ix. 5, 6.

And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwellingplace.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; There shall no

strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the LORD thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me, Psal. lxxxi. 8-11. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask ye for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken, Jer. vi. 16, 17. For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, for ever and ever. And go not after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD, that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt, xxv. 3-7. I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, xlii. 9-13. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate, xliv. 4.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, Psal. xvii. 8. How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings, xxxvi. 7. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast, lvii. 1. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice, lxiii. 7. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler, xci. 4.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents, Psal. Ixix. 24, 25.

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? Isa. lxiv. 10-12. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are deter. mined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate, Dan. ix. 26, 27.
