Proverbs 11:27

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Selah.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

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