14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

16Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay [them].

17Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.

19Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
