16because he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy, the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

17He loved cursing, and it came upon him; he did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

18He clothed himself with cursing as his garment; it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.

19May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself, and like a belt that he continually girds on.

20This is the recompense from Yahweh for my accusers, for those who speak evil against me.
