Now you evil men have killed a man in his own house. He hadn’t done anything wrong. You killed him while he was lying on his own bed. You spilled his blood. So shouldn’t I spill your blood? Shouldn’t I wipe you off the face of the earth?”

何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上，我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪、从世上除灭你们呢？”

更何况恶人把义人杀在他家的床上，我岂不从你们手中追讨他的血，从地上除灭你们吗？”

更何况恶人把义人杀在他家的床上，我岂不从你们手中追讨他的血，从地上除灭你们吗？”

更何况你们这些恶徒在这个无辜人的家里把他杀死在床上，我怎能不向你们讨这血债，把你们从世上除掉？”

何况恶人在义人的家里，把义人杀在床上。现在我怎能不从你们手中追讨流他血的罪，把你们从这世上除灭呢？”

何況惡人將義人殺在他的牀上，我豈不向你們討流他血的罪、從世上除滅你們呢？」

更何況惡人把義人殺在他家的床上，我豈不從你們手中追討他的血，從地上除滅你們嗎？」

更何況惡人把義人殺在他家的床上，我豈不從你們手中追討他的血，從地上除滅你們嗎？」

更何況你們這些惡徒在這個無辜人的家裡把他殺死在床上，我怎能不向你們討這血債，把你們從世上除掉？」

何況惡人在義人的家裡，把義人殺在床上。現在我怎能不從你們手中追討流他血的罪，把你們從這世上除滅呢？”

何況惡人在義人家裏將他殺在床上，我現在哪有不從你們手裏討流他血的罪，而將你們從地上肅清呢？』

更何況惡人把義人殺死在義人的家裡、在他自己的床上，我難道不會從你們手中追討殺他流血的罪，把你們從地上除滅嗎？」

況惡人入義者之室、殺之於牀、我豈不討其血於爾、絕爾於地乎、

況爾行惡、入義者之家、殺之於床、我豈不罰爾罪、絕爾於地乎。

況爾惡人、入無辜者之家、殺之於床、我豈能不討其血於爾手、滅爾於地乎、

How much more— when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed— should I not now demand his blood from your hand and rid the earth of you!”

How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth?”

How much more should I reward evil men who have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed? Shouldn’t I hold you responsible for his blood and rid the earth of you?”

How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house on his own bed! So now, should I not require his blood from you and purge you from the earth?”

How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and eliminate you both from the earth?”

How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?”

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house on his own bed! So now, should I not require his blood from your hands and wipe you off the earth?”

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

Surely when wicked men have killed an innocent man as he slept in his own house, should I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth?”

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”

The God who pays back murderers remembers. He doesn’t forget the cries of those who are hurting.

I will certainly hold someone accountable if you are murdered. I will even hold animals accountable if they kill you. I will also hold anyone accountable who murders another person.“ Anyone who murders a human being will be killed by a human being. That is because I have made human beings so that they are like me.

But sinners will be cut off from the land. Those who aren’t faithful will be torn away from it.

May the Lord never forget their sins. Then he won’t let people remember the names of my enemies anymore.

So God said to Noah,“ I am going to put an end to everyone. They have filled the earth with their harmful acts. I am certainly going to destroy them and the earth.

By now I could have reached out my hand. I could have struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth.

Lord, haven’t you existed forever? You are my holy God. You will never die. Lord, you have appointed the Babylonians to punish your people. My Rock, you have chosen them to judge us.

So I am putting a curse on you. I am driving you away from this ground. It has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.

The law can’t do what it’s supposed to do. Fairness never comes out on top. Sinful people surround those who do what is right. So people are never treated fairly.

The Lord will pay him back for the blood he spilled. Joab attacked two men. He killed them with his sword. And my father David didn’t even know anything about it. Joab killed Abner, the son of Ner. Abner was the commander of Israel’s army. Joab also killed Amasa, the son of Jether. Amasa was the commander of Judah’s army. Abner and Amasa were better men than Joab is. They were more honest than he is.

When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him to one side. He brought him into an inside room. Joab acted as if he wanted to speak to him in private. But he really wanted to get even with him. That’s because Abner had spilled the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel. So Joab stabbed Abner in the stomach, and he died.

The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says,“ Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them,‘ Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”

I’m the anointed king. But today I’m weak. These sons of Zeruiah are too powerful for me. May the Lord pay back the one who killed Abner! May he pay him back for the evil thing he has done!”

“‘ Do not accept payment for a murderer’s life. A murderer deserves to die. They must certainly be put to death.“‘ Do not accept payment for anyone who has run to a city for safety. Do not let them buy their freedom to return home. They must not go back and live on their own land before the high priest dies.“‘ Do not pollute the land where you are. Murder pollutes the land. Only one thing can pay to remove the pollution in the land where murder has been committed. The blood of the one who spilled another’s blood must be spilled.So do not make the land where you live“ unclean,” because I live there too. I, the Lord, live among the Israelites.’ ”

“ Anyone who hits and kills someone else must be put to death.

Sometimes godly people give in to those who are evil. Then they become like a muddy spring of water or a polluted well.
