* curseth] Or, revileth. Though the wicked words of the tongue breake neither skinne nor bone, they bewray such a malignitie of the heart, (when they proceed from children to their parents) that God doometh such transgressors to death, and that worthily; for they requite evill for good, returning imprecations for prayers, cursing for blessing; and this with breach of the strongest bonds of naturall obedience and affection, and the grossest degree of ungratitude that can be. Leviticus 20:9. Proverbs 20:20. Matthew 15:4. Mark 7:10.
