Bible verse
The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.
Psalm 109:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 109.
13 May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
16 For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.
17 The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.
18 The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.
21 But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.
