they were so defiled with blood
jthat no one was able to touch
their garments.

17Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, O kson of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit lthe abominations that they commit here, that mthey should fill the land with violence and nprovoke me still further to anger? Behold, they put the branch to their ▼▼Or my
nose. Matthew 23:35-37
35so that on you may come all pthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous qAbel to the blood of rZechariah the son of Barachiah, ▼▼Some manuscripts omit the son of Barachiah
whom you murdered between tthe sanctuary and uthe altar. 36Truly, I say to you, vall these things will come upon this generation. Lament over Jerusalem
37 w“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that xkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have ygathered zyour children together aaas a hen gathers her brood abunder her wings, and acyou were not willing!
