18 (A)(Now this man purchased a field with (B)the [a]wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his [b]entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

(C)‘Let his dwelling place be [c]desolate,
And let no one live in it’;

and,

(D)‘Let another take his [d]office.’
