| 18 | As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. | The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil. | He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones. |
