Judges 9:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 but today you have risen against the house of my father and killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and you have made Abimelech, the son of his slave woman, a king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your relative[a]— 19 if you have acted in good faith[b] and sincerity with Jerub-Baal and his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you. 20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech and let it devour the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo; and let a fire come out from the lords of Shechem, and from Beth-Millo, and let it devour Abimelech.”

New International Version
18 But today you have revolted against my father’s family. You have murdered his seventy sons(A) on a single stone and have made Abimelek, the son of his female slave, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is related to you. 19 So have you acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today?(B) If you have, may Abimelek be your joy, and may you be his, too! 20 But if you have not, let fire come out(C) from Abimelek and consume you, the citizens of Shechem(D) and Beth Millo,(E) and let fire come out from you, the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and consume Abimelek!”
