10And the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood ais crying to me from the ground. 11And now byou are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”

21Then they said to one another, c“In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.” 22And Reuben answered them, d“Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? But you did not listen. So now ethere comes a reckoning for his blood.”

1 Kings 2:31-33

31The king replied to him, h“Do as he has said, strike him down and bury him, iand thus take away from me and from my father’s house the guilt for the blood that Joab shed without cause. 32The Lord will jbring back his bloody deeds on his own head, because, without the knowledge of my father David, he attacked and killed with the sword two men kmore righteous and better than himself, lAbner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and mAmasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. 33 nSo shall their blood come back on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever. But for David and for his descendants and for his house and for his throne there shall be peace from the Lord forevermore.”

and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
and will no more cover its slain.
