Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? And let the avenging of Your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.

so that on you may come all the righteous blood being shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Just as it is written: "For Your sake we are put to death the whole day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter."

Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You gave them blood to drink. They deserve it."

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all those who had been slain on the earth."

As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave.

At that time, says the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;

and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped. They shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,

And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them. Their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.

And I will punish them with four kinds [of death], says the Lord, the sword to slay, the dogs to tear, the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the sky to devour and destroy.

They shall die a grievous death. They shall not be lamented [over], nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky. They shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.

And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth. They shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.

I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcasses shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.

Then some of the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations saw their corpse three-and-a-half days, and they will not allow their corpses to be put into a tomb.
