25 Whoever throws a stone straight up throws it on his own head;

and a treacherous blow opens up wounds.

26 He who digs a pit will fall into it,

and he who sets a snare will be caught in it.

27 If a man does evil, it will roll back upon him,

and he will not know where it came from.

28 Mockery and abuse issue from the proud man,n

but vengeance lies in wait for him like a lion.

29 Those who rejoice in the fall of the godly will be caught in a snare,

and pain will consume them before their death.
