Genesis 9:5-7
New International Reader's Version
5 I will certainly hold someone accountable if you are murdered. I will even hold animals accountable if they kill you. I will also hold anyone accountable who murders another person.
6 “Anyone who murders a human being
will be killed by a human being.
That is because I have made human beings
so that they are like me.
7 Have children so that there will be many of you. Multiply and become many on the earth.”

by humans shall their blood be shed;(D)
