22 And Reuben answered them, ^g“Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? ^hBut you did not listen. So now there comes a ⁱreckoning for his blood.”

22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah’s father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see and avenge!”¹

18 If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall ^hdie for¹ his iniquity, ⁱbut his blood I will ^jrequire at your hand.
