Lamentations 3 : 62 (MKJV)
the lips of those who rose up against me, and their scheming against me all the day.
Lamentations 3 : 63 (MKJV)
Behold their sitting down and their rising up; I am their song.

You will return to them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.
Lamentations 3 : 65 (MKJV)
You will give them dullness of heart, Your curse on them.
