The Scriptures about the shedding of innocent blood and what happens to the nation or people that do that, and how GOD responds to that are many. Some of them are written: Some of these scriptures are here: It is written,'because they have forsaken ME and have estranged this place and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; they have built also the high places of baal to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings [child sacrifice] unto baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into MY mind; therefore behold, the days come saith THE LORD that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom but the valley of slaughter. And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies; and by the hands of them that seek their lives; and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. And I will make this city desolate; and an hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and hiss because of all the plagues thereof." Jeremiah 19:4-8 And again, "because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end, therefore as I live, saith THE LORD GOD,I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee, since thou hast not hated blood [on your hands?] even blood shall pursue thee. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. And I will fill his mountains with slain men; in thy hills and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers,shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations; and thy cities shall not return, and ye shall know that I AM THE LORD." Ezekiel 35:5-9; and again,'because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein; woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people [from life] and hast sinned against thy soul.For the stone shall cry out of the wall and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

Some of these scriptures are here: It is written,'because they have forsaken ME and have estranged this place and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; they have built also the high places of baal to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings [child sacrifice] unto baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into MY mind; therefore behold, the days come saith THE LORD that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom but the valley of slaughter. And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies; and by the hands of them that seek their lives; and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. And I will make this city desolate; and an hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and hiss because of all the plagues thereof." Jeremiah 19:4-8 And again, "because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end, therefore as I live, saith THE LORD GOD,I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee, since thou hast not hated blood [on your hands?] even blood shall pursue thee. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. And I will fill his mountains with slain men; in thy hills and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers,shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations; and thy cities shall not return, and ye shall know that I AM THE LORD." Ezekiel 35:5-9; and again,'because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein; woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people [from life] and hast sinned against thy soul.For the stone shall cry out of the wall and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! Habakkuk 2:8-12 Added to this directory on 1-June-2009 at 2:00 pm by me Gloria Poole; as a reminder to those who shed innocent blood that GOD is not mocked according to these Scriptures and that GOD punishes the entire nation that sheds innocent blood.
