ESVEnglish Standard Version

Appoint a wicked man against him;

let an accuser stand at his right hand.

When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;

let his prayer be counted as sin!

May his days be few;

may another take his office!

May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow!

May his children wander about and beg,

seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

May the creditor seize all that he has;

may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!

Let there be none to extend kindness to him,

nor any to pity his fatherless children!

May his posterity be cut off;

may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

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

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

Let them be before the Lord continually,

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

Let his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.

Let his children wander as beggars,

searching for food far from their demolished homes.

NLTNew Living Translation

They say, “Get an evil person to turn against him.

Send an accuser to bring him to trial.

When his case comes up for judgment,

let him be pronounced guilty.

Count his prayers as sins.

Let his years be few;

let someone else take his position.

May his children become fatherless,

and his wife a widow.

May his children wander as beggars

and be driven from their ruined homes.

May creditors seize his entire estate,

and strangers take all he has earned.

Let no one be kind to him;

let no one pity his fatherless children.

May all his offspring die.

May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.

May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers;

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

May the Lord always remember these sins,

and may his name disappear from human memory.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Appoint over him a wicked man,

and let an accuser stand at his right hand.

When he is judged, let him come out guilty,

and let his prayer become as sin.

Let his days be few;

let another take his office.

Let his children be orphans,

and his wife a widow,

and let his children wander aimlessly and beg,

and let them plead from their ruins.

Let the creditor seize all that is his,

and let strangers plunder his property.

Let there be none who extend to him loyal love,

nor any who pities his orphans.

Let his descendants be cut off.

Let their name be blotted out in the next generation.

Let the iniquity of his ancestors be remembered before Yahweh,

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

Let them be before Yahweh continually,

that he may cut off their memory from the earth,

KJV 1900King James Version

Set thou a wicked man over him:

And let Satan stand at his right hand.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:

And let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few;

And let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless,

And his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:

Let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;

And let the strangers spoil his labour.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:

Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

Let his posterity be cut off;

And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord;

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

Let them be before the Lord continually,

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