Genesis 9:4-6
The Voice

4 But listen carefully: Do not eat any meat with its life-blood still in it. 5 More than that, do not spill the blood of any human. If anyone spills your blood, I will hold him responsible. It makes no difference whether it is a man or an animal, both will be accountable to Me! If someone murders a fellow human being, then I will require his life in return.

6     Whoever sheds the blood of a human,
        that person’s blood will be shed in return by another
        for God made humanity in His own image.
