As 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.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 109 of Psalms. Psalm 109 is a plea against an accuser who has responded to love with hostility. The psalmist presents before God a situation of false accusations, hatred, and persecution. The language of judgment is particularly intense and belongs to the genre of imprecations, in which the sufferer entrusts the fate of violent people to God. The conclusion returns to trust: God stands at the right hand of the poor to save him from those who condemn him.

Er zog an den Fluch wie sein Hemd; der ist in sein Inwendiges gegangen wie Wasser, und wie Öl in seine Gebeine;
Y vistiose de maldición como de su vestido, Y entró como agua en sus entrañas, Y como aceite en sus huesos.
Se vistió de maldición como de una túnica; entró como agua en su interior y como aceite en sus huesos.
Qu'il revête la malédiction comme son vêtement, Qu'elle pénètre comme de l'eau dans son intérieur, Comme de l'huile dans ses os!
E sia vestito di maledizione, come del suo manto; Ed entri quella come acqua nelle sue interiora, E come olio nelle sue ossa.
Assim como se vestiu de maldição, como sua roupa, assim penetre ela nas suas entranhas, como água, e em seus ossos como azeite.
他拿咒罵當衣服穿上; 這咒罵就如水進到他裏面, 如油進入他骨頭。
