Genesis 9:5-7
The Voice
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.
7 Now all of you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out and populate the earth.

5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.(A) I will demand an accounting from every animal.(B) And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.(C)
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;(D)
for in the image of God(E)
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”(F)
