Isaiah 5:7

7 cFor the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed; ▼
▼The Hebrew words for  justice and  bloodshed sound alike

for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry! ▼
▼The Hebrew words for  righteous and  outcry sound alike

Ezekiel 22:3-7

3You shall say, Thus says the Lord God: A city that sheds blood in her midst, so that fher time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself! 4You have become guilty gby the blood that you have shed, and defiled by the idols that you have made, and you have brought hyour days near, the appointed time of ▼
▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Targum; most Hebrew manuscripts until
 your years has come. jTherefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all the countries. 5Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you; kyour name is defiled; lyou are full of tumult.

6“Behold, mthe princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood. 7Father and mother nare treated with contempt in you; the sojourner osuffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow pare wronged in you.

Micah 3:2-3

rwho tear the skin from off my people ▼
▼Hebrew  from off them

and their flesh from off their bones,
 3 twho eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.

Zephaniah 3:1-3

Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
uthe oppressing city!
 2She listens to no voice;
vshe accepts no correction.
wShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
 3 xHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are yevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.

Acts 7:52

52 zWhich of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of aathe Righteous One, abwhom you have now betrayed and murdered,
