    6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

    7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

    8Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

    9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

    10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

    11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

    12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

    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 with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

    15Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

    16Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

    17As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

    18As 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.

    19Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

  5. Acts 1:16–20Rank 5 from verse 12
    Open

    16Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

    17For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

    18Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

    19And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

    20For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
