I have seen a fool succeed, but I cursed his home immediately.
“In the Book of Psalms,” Peter said, “this is written: ‘May his place be empty; leave no one to live in it.’ And it is also written: ‘Let another man replace him as leader.’
Wicked people grow like the grass. Evil people seem to do well, but they will be destroyed forever.
May their place be empty; leave no one to live in their tents.
What hope do the wicked have when they die, when God takes their life away?
“They are like foam floating on the water. Their part of the land is cursed; no one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.
I have not let my mouth sin by cursing my enemies’ life.
Those whom the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be sent away.
