International Standard Version
Psalm 109:17-19
International Standard Version
17 He loved to curse—may his curses[a] return upon him!
He took no delight in blessing others[b]—
so may blessings[c] be far from him.
18 He wore curses like a garment—
may they[d] enter his inner being like water
and his bones like oil.
19 May those curses[e] wrap around him like a garment,
or like a belt that one always wears.
