12 May no one extend kindness to him
    or take pity(A) on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(B)
    their names blotted out(C) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(D) be remembered before the Lord;
    may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(E) the Lord,
    that he may blot out their name(F) from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
    but hounded to death the poor
    and the needy(G) and the brokenhearted.(H)
