³⁸ And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

¹⁵ He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.

²⁶ Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

²¹ To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

²⁰ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²³ Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

⁴ Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
