15. May these be opposite the Lord always, but let their memory perish from the earth.
16. For certain things are not remembered about them, in order to be merciful.
17. And so the destitute man was pursued, with the beggar and the remorseful in heart, so as to be put to death.
18. And he loved a curse, and it came to him. And he was unwilling to have a blessing, and it went far from him. And he clothed himself with curses like a garment, and it entered his inner self like water, and it entered his bones like oil.
19. May it be to him like a garment that covers him, and like a belt that always cinches him.
20. This is the work of those who detract me with the Lord and who speak evils against my soul.
21. But as for you, Lord, O Lord: act on my behalf for your name's sake. For your mercy is sweet.
