- Obliviscatur ejus misericordia ; dulcedo illius vermes : non sit in recordatione, sed conteratur quasi lignum infructuosum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- εἶτ᾽ ἀνεμνήσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁμαρτία· ὥσπερ δὲ ὁμίχλη δρόσου ἀφανὴς ἐγένετο· ἀποδοθείη δὲ αὐτῷ ἃ ἔπραξεν, συντριβείη δὲ πᾶς ἄδικος ἴσα ξύλῳ ἀνιάτῳ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤הוּ רֶ֨חֶם מְתָ֘ק֤וֹ רִמָּ֗ה ע֥וֹד לֹֽא יִזָּכֵ֑ר וַתִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּעֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה
