“Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.”
Let a creditor seize all that he has; let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. Economic devastation complements the family and personal curses: creditors seizing property and strangers plundering his labor's fruit. The image of strangers benefiting from his work represents the ultimate theft and reversal. This verse extends curses to the economic sphere.
