Psalm 109:8-19
New King James Version
8 Let his days be (A)few,
And (B)let another take his office.
9 (C)Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
10 Let his children [a]continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them [b]seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 (D)Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 (E)Let his [c]posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their (F)name be blotted out.
14 (G)Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
And let not the sin of his mother (H)be blotted out.
15 Let them be continually before the Lord,
That He may (I)cut off the memory of them from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the (J)broken in heart.
17 (K)As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it (L)enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.

(H)But upon David and his descendants, upon his house and his throne, there shall be peace forever from the Lord.”

(E)I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before (F)My anointed forever. 36 (G)And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, “Please, [a]put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.” ’ ”
