Psalms 109:17

And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James Version

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

18And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
