¹³ Whoever ^(A)rewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.

⁶ Set a wicked man over him,
And let ^(B)an ^[a]accuser stand at his right hand.
⁷ When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And ^(C)let his prayer become sin.
⁸ Let his days be ^(D)few,
And ^(E)let another take his office.
^9 (F)Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
¹⁰ Let his children ^[b]continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them ^[c]seek their bread also from their desolate places.
^11 (G)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 (H)Let his ^[d]posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their ^(I)name be blotted out.

^12 (A)For it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has ^(B)exalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him.
¹³ But it was you, a man my equal,
^(C)My companion and my acquaintance.
¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together,
And ^(D)walked to the house of God in the throng.

¹⁵ Let death seize them;
Let them ^(E)go down alive into ^[a]hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
