Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

6Appoint a wicked person over him,

And may an accuser stand at his right hand.

7When he is judged, may he come out guilty,

And may his prayer become sin.

8May his days be few;

May another take his office.

9May his children be fatherless,

And his wife a widow.

10May his children wander about and beg;

And may they seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.

11May the creditor seize everything that he has,

And may strangers plunder the product of his labor.

12May there be none to extend kindness to him,

Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children.

13May his descendants be eliminated;

May their name be wiped out in a following generation.

14May the guilt of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,

And do not let the sin of his mother be wiped out.

15May they be before the Lord continually,

So that He may eliminate their memory from the earth;

16Because he did not remember to show mercy,

But persecuted the afflicted and needy person,

And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

17He also loved cursing, so it came to him;

And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

18But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,

And it entered his body like water,

And like oil into his bones.

19May it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself,

And as a belt which he constantly wears around himself.
