¹⁷ Since he loved to curse,
    let it come back on him!
Since he didn’t care much for blessing,
    let it be far away from him!
¹⁸ Since he wore curses like a coat,
    let them seep inside him like water,
    seep into his bones like oil!
¹⁹ Let them be like the clothes he wears,
    like a belt that is always around him.”
