¹³ And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

¹⁸ (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

³ Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

⁵ And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging.

⁶ And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

⁷ And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

⁸ For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

⁹ Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

⁷ For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.

⁸ In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.

⁹ For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

¹⁰ For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.

¹² But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

¹¹ He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.
