9 May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.

10 May his children be wandering beggars;

may they be driven from their ruined homes.

7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;

let his prayer be counted as sin!

8 May his days be few;

may another take his office!

9 May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow!

10 May his children wander about and beg,

seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

and let another man replace him as leader.

9 Let his children become orphans

and his wife a widow.

And let another take his office.

9 Let his children be fatherless,
