“Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.”
Let there be no one to do him a kindness, nor anyone to pity his orphaned children. The curse extends to social isolation: no one will treat the speaker with kindness, and the orphaned children will receive no compassion. Social ostracism and the hardening of hearts against the vulnerable compound the curses. This verse emphasizes total social abandonment.
