18 He ·cursed others as often as he wore clothes [L wore curses like a coat].
    ·Cursing others filled his body and his life,
    like drinking water and using olive oil [L Let them come like water in his innards and like oil in his bones].
19 So let curses ·cover [wrap] him like ·clothes [a garment]
    and ·wrap around him like a belt [L continually gird him].”
20 May the Lord do these things to those who ·accuse [charge] me,
    to those who speak evil against me.

    it entered into his body like water,(B)
    into his bones like oil.

20 May this be the Lord’s payment(D) to my accusers,
    to those who speak evil(E) of me.
