3 Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, ^efor the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4 and also ^ffor the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.

Psalms 109:12-19

12 Let there be none to ^gextend kindness to him,
nor any to ^hpity his fatherless children!
13 May his ⁱposterity be cut off;
may his ^jname be blotted out in the second generation!
14 May ^kthe iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be ^lblotted out!
15 ^mLet them be before the Lord continually,
that he may ⁿcut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued ^othe poor and needy
and ^pthe brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 ^qHe loved to curse; let curses come ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text curses have come} upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it is far} from him!
18 He ^tclothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it ^usoak ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it has soaked} into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!

Ezekiel 24:7-9

7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on ^afthe bare rock; ^agshe did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! ^ahI also will make the pile great.
