2 Chronicles 24:17-22
English Standard Version
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king. Then the king listened to them. 18 And they abandoned the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and served (A)the Asherim and the idols. And (B)wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs. 19 (C)Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord. (D)These testified against them, but they would not pay attention.
Joash's Treachery
20 (E)Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah (F)the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, (G)‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? (H)Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’” 21 But (I)they conspired against him, (J)and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see (K)and avenge!”[a]

2 Peter 2:18-22
English Standard Version
18 For, (A)speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely (B)escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them (C)freedom, (D)but they themselves are slaves[a] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, (E)after they have escaped the defilements of the world (F)through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, (G)the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For (H)it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from (I)the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The (J)dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
