Lord, they have killed Your prophets This phrase reflects a deep lament and accusation against the people of Israel for their historical rejection and persecution of God's messengers. The Greek word for "killed" is "ἀπέκτειναν" (apekteinan), which conveys a sense of violent and deliberate action. Historically, the prophets were often met with hostility because they called the people back to covenant faithfulness, challenging the status quo and confronting sin.
