Selected verse

because he didn’t remember to show kindness,

but persecuted the poor and needy man,

the broken in heart, to kill them.

17

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.

He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

18

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.

It came into his inward parts like water,

like oil into his bones.

19

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,

for the belt that is always around him.
