Lukas 11:44-49 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

44. Woe to you, because you are like the unmarked kevarim (graves), and bnei Adam walk over them without having daas.

45. And, in reply, one of the Baalei Torah says to him, Rabbi, by saying these things you insult us also.

46. But Rebbe, Melech, HaMoshiach said, Also woe to you Baalei Torah, because you burden men with [halachic] loads difficult to carry, and you yourselves with so much as one of your fingers do not touch the loads [with a heter].

47. Woe to you, because you build the matsevot (tombstone monuments) for the Kivrei HaNeviim (the sepulchers of the Prophets), but it was your avot who killed them.

48. Therefore, you are edim (witnesses) and in agreement with the deeds of your avot, because they do the killing of nevi'im part and you do the providing of the matsevot part.

49. Therefore, also the Chochmah of Hashem said, I will send to them Nevi'im and Shlichim, some of whom they will kill and persecute, [Lk 20:9-19]
