³² So the Lord ^(A)will return his ^[a]blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous ^(B)and better than he, and killed them with the sword—^(C)Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and ^(D)Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah—though my father David did not know it.

²⁵ but ^(A)when ^[a]Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that ^[b]this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should ^(B)return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

^35 (A)that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, ^(B)from the blood of righteous Abel to ^(C)the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

³⁶ Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
