## may it come back upon him ##

"may his curses come upon him"

## He clothed himself...into his bones ##

David uses these images to emphasize that curses filled every part of the man, even the innermost part of him. AT: "Curses became part of who he was and all he could do was curse other people." (See:5. Clothing is Moral Quality and 6. A Liquid is a Moral Quality in en:ta:workbench:translate:biblicalimagery )

##  as his garment ##

"as if they were his clothing."

## came into his inner being ##

"entered into his body"

## like oil into his bones ##

AT: "curses went into his bones like oil goes into bones." The bones are the innermost part of a person. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
