今爾非異人。夙與我親比。彼此稱莫逆。相與共密議。攜手入聖所。對主表心志。

Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the realm of the dead, for evil finds lodging among them.

Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.

Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.

Let death take them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, because evil is in their homes and within them.

May death come deceitfully upon them; May they go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

Judas bought a field with the payment he received for the evil thing he had done. He fell down headfirst in the field. His body burst open. All his insides spilled out.Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this. So they called that field Akeldama. In their language, Akeldama means the Field of Blood.Peter said,“ Here is what is written in the Book of Psalms. It says,“‘ May his home be deserted. May no one live in it.’( Psalm 69:25) The Psalms also say,“‘ Let someone else take his place as leader.’( Psalm 109:8)

Appoint an evil person to take my enemies to court. Let him stand at their right hand and bring charges against them.When they are tried, let them be found guilty. May even their prayers judge them.May their days be few. Let others take their places as leaders.May their children’s fathers die. May their wives become widows.May their children be driven from their destroyed homes. May they wander around like beggars.May everything those people own be taken away to pay for what they owe. May strangers rob them of everything they’ve worked for.May no one be kind to them or take pity on the children they leave behind.May their family line come to an end. May their names be forgotten by those who live after them.May the Lord remember the evil things their fathers have done. May he never erase the sins of their mothers.May the Lord never forget their sins. Then he won’t let people remember the names of my enemies anymore.They never thought about doing anything kind. Instead, they drove those who were poor and needy to their deaths. They did the same thing to those whose hearts were broken.They loved to curse others. May their curses come back on them. They didn’t find any pleasure in giving anyone their blessing. May no blessing ever come to them.They cursed others as easily as they put on clothes. Cursing was as natural to them as getting a drink of water or putting olive oil on their bodies.May their curses cover them like coats. May their curses be wrapped around them like a belt forever.May that be the Lord’ s way of paying back those who bring charges against me. May it happen to those who say evil things about me.

But God will shoot my enemies with his arrows. He will suddenly strike them down.

Burn them up in your anger. Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them. Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know that God rules over the people of Jacob.

Show us who should take the place of Judas as an apostle. He gave up being an apostle to go where he belongs.”

Let their feast be a trap and a snare. Let my enemies get what’s coming to them.Let their eyes grow weak so they can’t see. Let their backs be bent forever.Pour out your anger on them. Let them feel what it is like.May their homes be deserted. May no one live in their tents.They attack those you have wounded. They talk about the pain of those you have hurt.Charge them with one crime after another. Don’t save them.May their names be erased from the book of life. Don’t include them in the list of those who do right.

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands over the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

Sinful people go down to the place of the dead. So do all the nations that forget God.

Absalom happened to come across some of David’s men. He was riding his mule. The mule went under the thick branches of a large oak tree. Absalom’s hair got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in the air. The mule he was riding kept on going.

Ahithophel saw that his advice wasn’t being followed. So he put a saddle on his donkey. He started out for his house in his hometown. When he arrived, he made everything ready for his death. He made out his will. Then he killed himself. And so he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.

But the Lord will make something totally new happen. The ground will open its mouth and swallow them up. It will swallow up everything that belongs to them. They will be buried alive. When that happens, you will know that these men have disrespected the Lord.”As soon as Moses finished saying all these words, what he had said came true. The ground under them broke open.It opened its mouth. It swallowed up those men. In fact, it swallowed up everyone who lived in their houses. It swallowed all Korah’s men. And it swallowed up everything they owned.They went down into the grave alive. Everything they owned went down with them. The ground closed over them and they died. And so they disappeared from the community.All the Israelites around them heard their cries. They ran away from them. They shouted,“ The ground is going to swallow us up too!”

Joab said,“ I’m not going to waste any more time on you.” So he got three javelins. Then he went over and plunged them into Absalom’s heart. He did it while Absalom was still hanging there alive in the oak tree.
