Psalms 109:9

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. There is a regular progression. Having abused his office for wickedness, he has a wicked man set over him, ; he is condemned, ; sentence is executed against his life, and another takes his office, ; and now, in Psalms 109:9, the penalty descends upon his children, and, Psalms 109:11, his property and his memory are visited.
