from the blood of Abel until the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House. Yea, I say to you, It will be required from this generation.
But you shall say to them, This is the nation that does not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, and does not receive instruction. Truth has perished, and it is cut off from their mouth.
