Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!
if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

“The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God, the Lord! He knows; and let Israel itself know!

Or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or grain offerings or peace offerings on it, may the Lord himself take vengeance.
