'Curse' in the Bible

They will pass through the land destitute and starving. Their hunger will make them angry, and they will curse their king and their God as they look upward.

So a treaty curse devours the earth; its inhabitants pay for their guilt. This is why the inhabitants of the earth disappear, and are reduced to just a handful of people.

Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. The sovereign Lord will kill you, but he will give his servants another name.
