For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
NIV
Because the man did not [earnestly] remember to show mercy, but pursued and persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart [he was ready] to slay.
AMP
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
KJV
