Psalms 69:25
69:25 May their camp become desolate,
their tents uninhabited!
Psalms 109:9-15
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!
Zechariah 5:3-4
5:3 The speaker went on to say, “This is a curse
traveling across the whole earth. For example, according to the curse whoever steals
will be removed from the community; or on the other hand (according to the curse) whoever swears falsely will suffer the same fate.”
5:4 “I will send it out,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “and it will enter the house of the thief and of the person who swears falsely in my name. It will land in the middle of his house and destroy both timber and stones.”
