Matthew 22:3-7

NSB(i) 3 »He sent out his servants to invite guests to the feast, but they would not come. 4 »Again he sent out other servants with orders to say to the guests, ‘I have prepared my feast. Oxen and fat livestock are butchered and everything is ready, so come to the feast.’ 5 »But they paid no attention and went about their business. One went to his farm and another went to his trade. 6 »The rest violently attacked his servants and put them to death. 7 »The king was angry, and sent his armies to put the evil servants to death and to destroy their town with fire.
