¹⁸ They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden.

¹⁶ You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.

¹⁷ A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.

¹⁸ A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

¹⁹ You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

²⁰ The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.

²⁶ They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

¹⁶ Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:

⁷ Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.

²² Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.

¹⁸ You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

¹⁹ How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.

²⁰ As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

³³ The curse of the Lord is on the house of the evil-doer, but his blessing is on the tent of the upright.

¹⁰ Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.

² If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.
