Psalms 109:13
May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.
BSB
ASV
Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
KJV
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Both from existence and from memory let them pass away till none shall know that such a vile brood ever existed. Who wishes to see the family of Domitian or Julian continued upon earth? Who would mourn if the race of Tom Paine or of Voltaire should come to an utter end? It would be undesirable that the sons of the utterly villainous and bloodthirsty should rise to honour, and if they did they would only revive the memory of their father's sins.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
