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.
