All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and our children!"

trapped by your own words, and caught by your own words,

The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are trapped by their evil desires.

He loved to curse may his curses return upon him! He took no delight in blessing others so may blessings be far from him.

Swearing, lying, murder, theft, and adultery are rampant, and blood mingles with blood.

But they kept insisting, "He is stirring up the people with what he teaches all over Judea, from where he started in Galilee to this place."

He loved to curse may his curses return upon him! He took no delight in blessing others so may blessings be far from him.

Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
