at his right hand. When he is judged, may he go out condemned,
                            and may his prayer be turned to sin. May his days be few, and his bishopric let another take. May
                        his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children beg and be vagabonds carried
                            about, and let them be cast out of their dwellings. May the usurer search all his substance, and
may strangers plunder his labors.

                            May there be none to help him, nor none to pity his fatherless offspring. May his posterity be cut
                            off; in one generation may his name be blotted out, and let their memory perish from the earth,
                                because he did not remember to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor man and the beggar, and the
broken in heart, to put Him to death.

                            He loved cursing, and it shall come unto him. He would not have blessing, and it shall be far from
                        him. And he put on cursing, like a garment, and it went in like water into his entrails, and like
                        oil in his bones. May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him, and like a girdle with
which he is girded continually.

                            This is the work of them who detract Me before the Lord, and who speak evils against My soul.

Psalm 108:2, 6-13, 15-20

                            And they weighed for My wages thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said to Me, cast it to the
        statuary [i.e., the potter]: a handsome price that I was prized at by them.

Zacharias 11:12-13

                            let him enter into him, and possess him. The imprecations contained in the thirty verses of this
psalm are opposed to the thirty pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed Our Lord, and are to be
taken as prophetic denunciations of the evils that should befall the traitor and his accomplices,
the Jews, and not properly as curses.
