And let not the sin of his mother (D)be blotted out.
15 Let them be continually before the Lord,
That He may (E)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 (F)broken in heart.
17 (G)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 (H)enter his body like water,
