17 (A)He loved to curse; let curses come[a] upon him!
    He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[b] from him!
18 He (B)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
    may it (C)soak[c] into his body like water,
    like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
    like a belt that he puts on every day!
