When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other,“ This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”

When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,“ No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”

The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other,“ A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.”

When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another,“ This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”

When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another,“ Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.”

So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,“ No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”

And when the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.

When the local people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,“ This man is probably a murderer, and though he has escaped the sea, Justice does not allow him to live!”

And when the barbarians saw the[ venomous] beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

When the local people saw the creature hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to one another,“ No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself has not allowed him to live!”

When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,“ No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

Or what about the 18 people in Siloam? They died when the tower fell on them. Do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?

Jesus said,“ These people from Galilee suffered greatly. Do you think they were worse sinners than all the other Galileans?

So you will pay for all the godly people’s blood spilled on earth. I mean from the blood of godly Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berekiah. Zechariah was the one you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Stop judging only by what you see. Judge in the right way.”

Anyone troubled by the guilt of murder will seek to escape their guilt by death. No one should keep them from it.

He is coming from the place where he lives. He will punish the people of the earth for their sins. The blood spilled on the earth will be brought out into the open. The ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

Nineveh was a carefree city. It lived in safety. It said to itself,“ I am the one! No one is greater than I am.” But it has been destroyed. Wild animals make their home there. All those who pass by laugh and shake their fists at it.

The people of the island were unusually kind. It was raining and cold. So they built a fire and welcomed all of us.

The serpent was more clever than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. The serpent said to the woman,“ Did God really say,‘ You must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden’?”

But desert creatures will lie down there. Wild dogs will fill its houses. Owls will live there. Wild goats will jump around in it.Hyenas will live in its forts. Wild dogs will live in its beautiful palaces. The time for Babylon to be punished is near. Its days are numbered.

Paul shook the snake off into the fire. He was not harmed.

They said to one another,“ God is surely punishing us because of our brother. We saw how upset he was when he begged us to let him live. But we wouldn’t listen. That’s why all this trouble has come to us.”Reuben replied,“ Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn’t listen! Now we’re being paid back for killing him.”

As Jesus went along, he saw a man who was blind. He had been blind since he was born.Jesus’ disciples asked him,“ Rabbi, who sinned? Was this man born blind because he sinned? Or did his parents sin?”

Even wild dogs and owls honor me. That is because I provide water in the desert for my people to drink. I cause streams to flow in the dry and empty land for my chosen ones.

“‘ Do not accept payment for a murderer’s life. A murderer deserves to die. They must certainly be put to death.“‘ Do not accept payment for anyone who has run to a city for safety. Do not let them buy their freedom to return home. They must not go back and live on their own land before the high priest dies.“‘ Do not pollute the land where you are. Murder pollutes the land. Only one thing can pay to remove the pollution in the land where murder has been committed. The blood of the one who spilled another’s blood must be spilled.So do not make the land where you live“ unclean,” because I live there too. I, the Lord, live among the Israelites.’ ”

I will certainly hold someone accountable if you are murdered. I will even hold animals accountable if they kill you. I will also hold anyone accountable who murders another person.“ Anyone who murders a human being will be killed by a human being. That is because I have made human beings so that they are like me.

But others will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Those who are afraid and those who do not believe will be there. Murderers and those who make themselves impure will join them. Those who commit sexual sins and those who practice witchcraft will go there. Those who worship statues of gods and all who tell lies will be there too. The lake of fire is the second death.”

Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” So they went out. There Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.Then the Lord said to Cain,“ Where is your brother Abel?”“ I don’t know,” Cain replied.“ Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”The Lord said,“ What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.So I am putting a curse on you. I am driving you away from this ground. It has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

All the people answered,“ Put the blame for his death on us and our children!”
