Proverbs 11:27

The one who searches for what is good finds favor,
but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.

They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger subsided.

He dug a pit and hollowed it out
but fell into the hole he had made.

They prepared a net for my steps;
I was despondent.
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it!Selah

The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.

In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue the afflicted;
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

An evil man seeks only rebellion;
a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
