6 When sentence is geuen vpon him, let him be codempned, and let his prayer be turned in to synne.
7 Let his dayes be fewe, and his bishopricke another take.
8 Let his children be fatherlesse, & his wife a wyddowe.
9 Let his children be vagabundes, and begg their bred: let them seke it, as they that be destroyed.
10 Let the extorcioner cosume all that he hath, and let straungers spoyle his laboure.
11 Let there be no man to petie, ner to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children.
12 Let his ende be destruccion, and in the nexte generacion let his name be clene put out.
13 Let the wickednesse of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the sight of the LORDE, and let not the synne of his mother be done awaye.
14 Let them be allwaye before the LORDE, but as for the memoriall of them selues, let it perish from out of the earth.
15 And that because his mynde was not to do good, but persecuted the poore helplesse, and him that was vexed at the herte, to slaye him.
16 His delite was in cursynge, and therfore shall it happe vnto him: he loued not blessynge, and that shall be farre fro him.
17 He clothed him self with cursynge like as with a rayment: yee it wente in to his bowels like water, and like oyle in to his bones.
18 Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him, and as the gyrdle that he is gyrded withall.
19 Let it thus happen from the LORDE vnto myne enemies, and to those that speake euell agaynst my soule.
20 But deale thou with me (o LORDE God) acordinge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy.
