Curse Meroz, said the Angel of Jehovah, curse its inhabitants bitterly, because they did not come to the help of Jehovah, to the help of Jehovah against the mighty.

Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt. And all the people shall say, Amen!

And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

Then one of the people said, Your father adjured the people with an oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food this day. And the people were faint.

Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If Jehovah has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the sons of men, may they be cursed before Jehovah, for they have driven me out this day from joining in the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

Then he began to curse and swear, saying, I do not know the Man! And immediately a rooster crowed.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.

He who robs his father or his mother and says, It is no transgression, is a companion to a man who destroys.

And he blessed him and said: Blessed is Abram of the Most High God, Possessor of Heaven and earth;

And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

And he said, Come in, O blessed of Jehovah! Why do you stand outside? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.

You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not leave unpunished one who takes His name in vain.

And he said, Blessed are you of Jehovah, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.

And Saul said, Blessed are you of Jehovah, for you have had compassion on me.

So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses those who plunder, whom Jehovah has spurned.

for he who blesses him shares in his evil deeds.
