for he gave no thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and the needy, drove the downhearted to death.
17 Ama mi samset athanom in; tun nang ama sugoi tan. Aman midang phatthei aboh khapoi; tun nangman ama jong phatthei boh hih in.
‘May the curses he loved light upon him, may the blessings he loathed be afar.
18 Mi sapset hi amadinga aponsil, atwidon, abuneh tobang a angaito ahitai.
Like a garment he clothed him with curses; may they pierce to his inwards like water, and cling to his bones like oil.
