Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his days be few - even as he plotted to shorten my days; literally, 'be fewnesses.' The wish accords with the divinely-appointed fact (Psalms 55:23).
Let another take his office - Hebrew, 'his office as visitor' or overseer х pªqudaatow (H6486)]; the same Hebrew root as that for 'Set over him a wicked man' (Psalms 109:6). As he, when overseer, abused his trust to condemn the guiltless, so set over him a wicked overseer to condemn him. Acts 1:20 applies it to Judas' apostleship - "his bishoprick [office of oversight, episkopee (G1984)] let another take."
