17. Because he loved cursing, let it come upon him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
18. Because he wore a curse as his robe, let it enter his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
19. May it be for him like a garment in which he wraps, and a belt he continually wears.
20. Let this be the punishment for my accusers from Yahweh, even those who speak evil against my life.
