29 "A curse on you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you build tombs for the prophets, and decorate monuments for the upright,
30 and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have been sharers with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
31 So you are witnessing against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Then fill up to the brim the cup of your forefathers' guilt!
33 You serpents! You brood of vipers! How can you escape a sentence to the pit!
34 Therefore, I am going to send you prophets, wise men, and scribes, some of whom you will kill -- even crucify -- and some you will flog in your synagogues and chase from city to city,
35 so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 I solemnly say to you, all this will come upon this age!
37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The city that has kept on murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to her, how often I have yearned to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you refused!
