22 Then Reuʹben answered them, saying: “Did not I say to YOU, ‘Do not sin against the child,’ but YOU did not listen?+ And now his blood, here it is certainly asked back.”+
23 then may you yourself hear from the heavens,+ and you must act+ and judge your servants so as to pay back the wicked by putting his course* upon his own head+ and by pronouncing the righteous one righteous+ by giving to him according to his own righteousness.+
