²¹ Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world `with' cities.

⁵ Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, `am' a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third `generation', and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

³⁹ `And those who are left of you -- they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.

³⁵ that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar:

⁶ Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world `with' increase.

⁸ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of violence `to' the land, `To' the city, and `to' all dwelling in it.

⁹ Wo `to' him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil,

¹⁰ Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful `is' thy soul.

¹¹ For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.

¹² Wo `to' him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
