16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
    but pursued (A)the poor and needy
    and (B)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 (C)He loved to curse; let curses come[a] upon him!
    He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[b] from him!
18 He (D)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
    may it (E)soak[c] into his body like water,
    like oil into his bones!
