WPNT(i)
29 “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!!!! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous;
30 yet you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets’.
31 Therefore you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 So fill up the measure of your fathers’ guilt!
33 “Snakes! Brood of vipers! How can you escape from the condemnation of Hell?
34 So take note: I will send you prophets and wise men and Biblical scholars; some of them you will kill, even crucify; some of them you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from city to city
35 —so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36 Assuredly I say to you that all these things will come upon this generation.
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children, just like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you did not want to.
