And for your lifeblood I will
require a reckoning: from every
beast I will require it and from
man. From his fellow man I will
require a reckoning for the life
of man. “Whoever sheds the blood
of man, by man shall his blood be
shed, for God made man in his own
image.

If a thief is found breaking in
and is struck so that he dies,
there shall be no bloodguilt for

for his theft.

Because you did not serve the
Lord your
God with joyfulness and gladness
of heart, because of the abundance

everything. And he will put a yoke
of iron on your neck until he has
destroyed you.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your
sword back into its place. For all
who take the sword will perish by

then should the Scriptures be
fulfilled, that it must be so?”
