“As for the head of those who surround me,
May the (A)trouble from their lips cover them.
10 May (B)burning coals be shaken out upon them;
May He (C)cause them to fall into the fire,
Into [a]bottomless pits from which they (D)can never rise.
11 May a [b]slanderer not be established in the earth;
(E)May evil hunt the violent man [c]speedily.”
