The nineteen blessings of the Amidah make up the core of the Jewish prayer service. The twelfth blessing was actually added after the destruction of the Second Temple. This blessing calls for the destruction of the enemies of Torah and Israel.

V’la’mal’shee’nim al t’hee tikvah, v’chol ha’rish’ah k’rega to’vayd, v’chol oy’vay am’cha m’hay’ra ye’kah’ray’too, v’ha’zay’deem m’hayra t’akair oot’sha’bayr oot’ma’gayr v’tach’nee’ah bim’hay’ra v’yah’may’nu. Ba’ruch Ah’tah Ah’doh’nai shoh’vayr oy’veem oo’mach’nee’ah zay’dim.

For the slanderers let there be no hope, and may all wickedness perish in an instant. May all Your people’s enemies swiftly be cut down. May You swiftly uproot, crush, cast down and humble the arrogant swiftly in our days. Blessed are You, Lord, who destroys enemies and humbles the arrogant.
