They float on the surface of the water.
Their section of the land is cursed,
so that they never go to their vineyards.

You will be cursed in the city
and cursed in the country.

They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

They were snatched away before their time,
and their foundations were washed away by a river.

They will vanish like water that flows by;
they will aim their useless arrows.

Let their table set before them be a snare,
and let it be a trap for their allies.

Indeed, You put them in slippery places;
You make them fall into ruin.

The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked,
but He blesses the home of the righteous;

Overflow your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish;
there is no longer anything to restrain you.

If you don’t listen, and if you don’t take it to heart to honor My name,” says Yahweh of Hosts, “I will send a curse among you, and I will curse your blessings. In fact, I have already begun to curse them because you are not taking it to heart.
