“Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.”
Let his posterity be cut off; let his name be blotted out in the second generation. The curse targets the future itself: the speaker's descendants will be destroyed, and his name will be forgotten. The 'second generation' suggests that the curse will manifest fully in the next age. This verse indicates that the enemies call for erasure of the speaker's lineage and memory.
