12 May all who have despised you
and slandered you be cursed!
    Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you.[a]
    But all who revere you
    will be blessed for eternity.
13 Rejoice then and be glad[b]
for the children of the righteous,
    for all will be gathered together
    and praise the eternal Lord.
14 Favored by God are those who love you,
    favored are those who rejoice
    when you are at peace,
    and favored are all the people
    who grieve when you are afflicted,
        for they will rejoice over you
        and will see all your joy forever.
