13. Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let their names be blotted out.
14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15. Let them be before the Lord continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth!–
16. Because the man did not [earnestly] remember to show mercy, but pursued and persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart [he was ready] to slay.
17. Yes, he loved cursing, and it came [back] upon him; he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
18. He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, and it seeped into his inward [life] like water, and like oil into his bones.
19. Let it be to him as the raiment with which he covers himself and as the girdle with which he is girded continually.
