2for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.
2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

13Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.
13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
