7. When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; and let his prayer be turned into sin.
8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10. Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.

12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him; neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
13. Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15. Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17. Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
