⁹ With respect to the head of those who surround me,
may the harm of their lips cover them.
¹⁰ Let burning coals fall on them;
let them be dropped into the fire,
into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise.
¹¹ Do not let a slanderer^[a] be established in the land;
as for the man of violence, let evil hunt him quickly.
