16. For he never thought of doing a kindness,but hounded to death the poorand the needy and the broken-hearted.
17. He loved to pronounce a curse –may it come back on him.He found no pleasure in blessing –may it be far from him.
18. He wore cursing as his garment;it entered into his body like water,into his bones like oil.
19. May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,like a belt tied for ever round him.
