Psalms 55:15
55:15 May death destroy them!
May they go down alive into Sheol!
For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst.
Psalms 109:6-20
109:6 Appoint an evil man to testify against him!
May an accuser stand at his right side!
109:7 When he is judged, he will be found guilty!
Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.
109:8 May his days be few!
May another take his job!
109:9 May his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow!
109:10 May his children roam around begging,
asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!
109:11 May the creditor seize all he owns!
May strangers loot his property!
109:12 May no one show him kindness!
May no one have compassion on his fatherless children!
109:13 May his descendants be cut off!
May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives!
109:14 May his ancestors’ sins be remembered by the Lord!
May his mother’s sin not be forgotten!
109:15 May the Lord be constantly aware of them,
and cut off the memory of his children from the earth!
109:16 For he never bothered to show kindness;
he harassed the oppressed and needy,
and killed the disheartened.
109:17 He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him.
He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.
109:18 He made cursing a way of life,
so curses poured into his stomach like water
and seeped into his bones like oil.
109:19 May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on,
or a belt one wears continually!
109:20 May the Lord repay my accusers in this way,
those who say evil things about me!
Matthew 18:7
18:7 Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It
is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom they come.
Matthew 27:3-5
Judas’ Suicide
27:3 Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders,
27:4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!”
27:5 So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left. Then he went out and hanged himself.
Acts 1:16-20
1:16 “Brothers,
the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through
David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –
1:17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.”
1:18 (Now this man Judas
acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed,
and falling headfirst
he burst open in the middle and all his intestines
gushed out.
1:19 This
became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language
they called that field
Hakeldama, that is, “Field of Blood.”)
1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘
Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’
and ‘
Let another take his position of responsibility.’
Acts 1:25
1:25 to assume the task
of this service
and apostleship from which Judas turned aside
to go to his own place.”
