How can you escape the judgment of hell?[a] 34 For this reason I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, 35 so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation.

12 May there be no one to do him a kindness
nor anyone to pity his orphaned children.(A)
13 May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation.(B)
14 May the iniquity of his father[a] be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.(C)
15 Let them be before the Lord continually,
and may his[b] memory be cut off from the earth.(D)
16 For he did not remember to show kindness
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted to their death.(E)
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him.
He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.(F)
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones.(G)
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself,
like a belt that he wears every day.”

may it come back on him.(I)
