8. May his days be few, and let another take his episcopate.
9. May his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow.
10. May his sons be carried by those who walk unsteadily, and may they go begging. And may they be cast out of their dwelling places.
11. May the money lenders scrutinize all his belongings, and let foreigners plunder his labors.
12. May there be no one to assist him, nor anyone to be compassionate to his orphaned children.
13. May his posterity be in utter ruin. In one generation, may his name be wiped away.
14. May the iniquity of his fathers return in memory before the sight of the Lord, and do not let the sin of his mother be wiped away.
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.
22. Free me, for I am destitute and poor, and my heart has been disquieted within me.
23. I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, and I have been shaken off like locusts.
24. My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
