14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;

may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,

that he may blot out their name from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,

but hounded to death the poor

and the needy and the brokenhearted.

14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,

and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!

15 Let them be before the Lord continually,

that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!

16 For he did not remember to show kindness,

but pursued the poor and needy

and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the Lord continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart.

14 May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers;

may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.

15 May the Lord always remember these sins,

and may his name disappear from human memory.

16 For he refused all kindness to others;

he persecuted the poor and needy,

and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,

And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be continually before the Lord,

That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,

But persecuted the poor and needy man,

That he might even slay the broken in heart.

14 Lord, remember how wicked his ancestors were,

and don’t let the sins of his mother be wiped out.

15 Lord, always remember their sins.

Then make people forget about them completely.

16 “He did not remember to be loving.

He hurt the poor, the needy, and those who were sad

until they were nearly dead.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah;

And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before Jehovah continually,

That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

16 Because he remembered not to show kindness,

But persecuted the poor and needy man,

And the broken in heart, to slay them.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out; 15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth: 16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

14 Let the Lord remember the guilt of his ancestors 

and not wipe out his mother’s sin. 

15 Let their guilt and sin always remain on record 

in front of the Lord. 

Let the Lord remove every memory of himfrom the earth, 

16 because he did not remember to be kind. 

“He drove oppressed, needy, 

and brokenhearted people to their graves. 

14 Let his ancestors’ guilt

be remembered before the Lord,

and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.

15 Let their sins always remain before the Lord,

and let Him erase all memory of them from the earth.

16 For he did not think to show kindness,

but pursued the afflicted, poor, and brokenhearted

in order to put them to death.

14 May the iniquity of his father be remembered before the Lord,

and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before the Lord continually,

and may his memory be cut off from the earth.

16 For he did not remember to show kindness,

but pursued the poor and needy

and the brokenhearted to their death.

14 Let the iniquity of his ancestors be remembered before Yahweh,

and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.

15 Let them be before Yahweh continually,

that he may cut off their memory from the earth,

16 because he did not remember to show loyal love,

but he pursued anyone, poor or needy

or brokenhearted, to slay them.

14 May the Lord remember the evil things their fathers have done.

May he never erase the sins of their mothers.

15 May the Lord never forget their sins.

Then he won’t let people remember those sinners anymore.

16 They never thought about doing anything kind.

Instead, they drove those who were poor and needy to their deaths.

They did the same thing to those whose hearts were broken.
