12. Let no one show him love.Let no one have mercy on his children.
13. Let all his descendants die.Let him be forgotten by people who live after him.
14. Let the Lord remember how wicked his ancestors were.Don’t let the sins of his mother be wiped out.
15. Let the Lord always remember their sins.Then he will make people forget about them completely.
16. “He did not remember to be loving.He hurt the poor, the needy and those who were saduntil they were nearly dead.
17. He loved to put curses on others.So let those same curses fall on him.He did not like to bless others.So do not let good things happen to him.
18. He cursed others as often as he wore clothes.Cursing others filled his body and his life,like drinking water and using olive oil.
19. So let curses cover him like clothes.Let them wrap around him like a belt.”
20. May the Lord do these things to those who accuse me,to those who speak evil against me.
