¹ Let his children wander and beg; Let them seek their food and be driven far from their ruined homes.

² Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor.

³ Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, Nor let anyone be gracious to his fatherless children.

⁴ Let his descendants be cut off, And in the following generation let their name be blotted out.

⁵ Let the wickedness of his fathers be remembered by the LORD; And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

⁶ Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth;

⁷ Because the man did not remember to show kindness, But persecuted the suffering and needy man, And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

⁸ He also loved cursing, and it came [back] to him; He did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

⁹ He clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it seeped into his inner self like water And like [anointing] oil into his bones.

¹⁰ Let it be to him as a robe with which he covers himself, And as a sash with which he is constantly bound.

¹¹ Let this be the reward of my attackers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my life.
