Psalm 109:10-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. Let his children be continual vagabonds [as was Cain] and beg; let them seek their bread and be driven far from their ruined homes. [Gen. 4:12.]

11. Let the creditor and extortioner seize all that he has; and let strangers (barbarians and foreigners) plunder the fruits of his labor.

12. Let there be none to extend or continue mercy and kindness to him, neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.

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.
