Rejoice, G5463 and be exceeding glad: G21 for great G4183 is your G5216 reward G3408 in heaven: G3772 for so G3779 persecuted G1377 they the prophets G4396 which G3588 were before G4253 you.

Why G5620 you be witnesses G3140 to yourselves, G1438 that you are the children G5207 of them which killed G5407 the prophets. G4396

You serpents, G3789 you generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 how G4459 can you escape G5343 G575 the damnation G2920 of hell? G1067

That on you may come G2064 all G3956 the righteous G1342 blood G129 shed G1632 on the earth, G1093 from the blood G129 of righteous G1342 Abel G6 to the blood G129 of Zacharias G2197 son G5207 of Barachias, G914 whom G3739 you slew G5407 between G3342 the temple G3485 and the altar. G2379

O Jerusalem, G2419 Jerusalem, G2419 you that kill G615 the prophets, G4396 and stone G3036 them which are sent G649 to you, how often G4212 would G2309 I have gathered G1996 your children G5043 together, G1996 even G3739 G5158 as a hen G3733 gathers G1996 her chickens G3556 under G5259 her wings, G4420 and you would G2309 not!

For it was so, when Jezebel H348 cut H3772 off the prophets H5030 of the LORD, H3068 that Obadiah H5662 took H3947 an hundred H3967 prophets, H5030 and hid H2244 them by fifty H2572 in a cave, H4631 and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 and water. H4325 )

Was it not told H5046 my lord H113 what H853 H834 I did H6213 when Jezebel H348 slew H2026 the prophets H5030 of the LORD, H3068 how I hid H2244 an hundred H3967 men H376 of the LORD's H3068 prophets H5030 by fifty H2572 in a cave, H4631 and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 and water? H4325

Then Jezebel H348 sent H7971 a messenger H4397 to Elijah, H452 saying, H559 So H3541 let the gods H430 do H6213 to me, and more H3254 also, H3541 if I make H7760 not your life H5315 as the life H5315 of one H259 of them by to morrow H4279 about this time. H6256

And he said, H559 I have been very jealous H7065 for the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts: H6635 for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have forsaken H5800 your covenant, H1285 thrown H2040 down H2040 your altars, H4196 and slain H2026 your prophets H5030 with the sword; H2719 and I, even I only, H905 am left; H3498 and they seek H1245 my life, H5315 to take H3947 it away.

But Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 went H5674 near, H5066 and smote H5221 Micaiah H4321 on H5921 the cheek, H3895 and said, H559 Which H335 H2088 way H2088 went H5674 the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 from me to speak H1696 to you?

Then Asa H609 was wroth H3707 with the seer, H7200 and put H5414 him in a prison H4115 house; H1004 for he was in a rage H2197 with him because H5921 of this H2063 thing. And Asa H609 oppressed H7533 some of the people H5971 the same H1931 time. H6256

And they conspired H7194 against H5921 him, and stoned H7275 him with stones H68 at the commandment H4687 of the king H4428 in the court H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Thus Joash H3101 the king H4428 remembered H2142 not the kindness H2617 which H834 Jehoiada H3111 his father H25 had done H6213 to him, but slew H2026 his son. H1121 And when he died, H4191 he said, H559 The LORD H3068 look H7200 on it, and require H1875 it.

And the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 sent H7971 to them by his messengers, H4397 rising H7925 up betimes, H7925 and sending; H7971 because H3588 he had compassion H2550 on H5921 his people, H5971 and on H5921 his dwelling H4583 place:

But they mocked H3931 the messengers H4397 of God, H430 and despised H959 his words, H1697 and misused H8591 his prophets, H5030 until H5704 the wrath H2534 of the LORD H3068 arose H5927 against his people, H5971 till H5704 there was no H369 remedy. H4832

Nevertheless they were disobedient, H4784 and rebelled H4775 against you, and cast H7993 your law H8451 behind H310 their backs, H1458 and slew H2026 your prophets H5030 which H834 testified H5749 against them to turn H7725 them to you, and they worked H6213 great H1419 provocations. H5007

In vain H7723 have I smitten H5221 your children; H1121 they received H3947 no H3808 correction: H4148 your own sword H2719 has devoured H398 your prophets, H5030 like a destroying H7843 lion. H738

From the thirteenth H7969 H6240 year H8141 of Josiah H2977 the son H1121 of Amon H526 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 even to this H2088 day, H3117 that is the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 year, H8141 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 has come H1961 to me, and I have spoken H1696 to you, rising H7925 early H7925 and speaking; H1696 but you have not listened. H8085

They said, H559 Turn H7725 you again H7725 now H4994 every H376 one H376 from his evil H7451 way, H1870 and from the evil H7455 of your doings, H4611 and dwell H3427 in the land H127 that the LORD H3068 has given H5414 to you and to your fathers H1 for ever H5769 and ever: H5769

Yet you have not listened H8085 to me, said H5002 the LORD; H3068 that you might provoke me to anger H3707 with the works H4639 of your hands H3027 to your own hurt. H7451

And when Jehoiakim H3079 the king, H4428 with all H3605 his mighty H1368 men, and all H3605 the princes, H8269 heard H8085 his words, H1697 the king H4428 sought H1245 to put him to death: H4191 but when Urijah H223 heard H8085 it, he was afraid, H3372 and fled, H1272 and went H935 into Egypt; H4714

And they fetched H3318 forth H3318 Urijah H223 out of Egypt, H4714 and brought H935 him to Jehoiakim H3079 the king; H4428 who slew H5221 him with the sword, H2719 and cast H7993 his dead H5038 body H5038 into H413 the graves H6913 of the common H1121 people. H5971

Nevertheless G4133 I must G1163 walk G4198 to day, G4594 and to morrow, G839 and the day following: G2192 for it cannot G3756 G1735 be that a prophet G4396 perish G622 out of Jerusalem. G2419

O Jerusalem, G2419 Jerusalem, G2419 which G3588 kill G615 the prophets, G4396 and stone G3036 them that are sent G649 to you; how G4212 often G4212 would G2309 I have gathered G1996 your children G5043 together, G1996 as a hen G3733 does gather her brood G3555 under G5259 her wings, G4420 and you would G2309 not!

Which G5101 of the prophets G4396 have not your G5216 fathers G3962 persecuted? G1377 and they have slain G615 them which G3588 showed G4293 before G4293 of the coming G1660 of the Just G1342 One; of whom G3739 you have been G1096 now G3568 the betrayers G4273 and murderers: G5406

Who G3588 both G2532 killed G615 the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 and their own G2398 prophets, G4396 and have persecuted G1559 us; and they please G700 not God, G2316 and are contrary G1727 to all G3956 men: G444

Forbidding G2967 us to speak G2980 to the Gentiles G1484 that they might be saved, G4982 to fill G378 up their sins G266 always: G104 for the wrath G3709 is come G5348 on them to the uttermost. G5056

And others G2087 had G2983 trial G3984 of cruel mockings G1701 and scourgings, G3148 yes, G1161 moreover G1161 of bonds G1199 and imprisonment: G5438

They were stoned, G3034 they were sawn G4249 asunder, G4249 were tempted, G3985 were slain G1722 with the sword: G3162 they wandered G4022 about G4022 in sheepskins G3374 and goatskins; G122 G1192 being destitute, G5302 afflicted, G2346 tormented; G2558

And when G3753 he had opened G455 the fifth G3991 seal, G4973 I saw G1492 under G5270 the altar G2379 the souls G5590 of them that were slain G4969 for the word G3056 of God, G2316 and for the testimony G3141 which G3739 they held: G2192
