13 ^aLet his¹ posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their ^bname be blotted out. ‡

14 ^aLet the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
And let not the sin of his mother ^bbe blotted out. ‡

16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the ^abroken in heart. ‡

17 ^aAs he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. ‡
