Deuteronomy 27:25
25 a“‘Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’2 Kings 24:4
4and also bfor the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.Proverbs 1:11
11If they say, “Come with us, clet us lie in wait for blood;dlet us ambush the innocent without reason;
Isaiah 1:15
15When you espread out your hands,I will hide my eyes from you;
feven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
gyour hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 59:3-6
3 hFor your hands are defiled with bloodand your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 iNo one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
jthey conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5They hatch adders’ eggs;
they weave the spider’s web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.
6 kTheir webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
