Proverbs 11:27

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

A rebellious man seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the hole which he made.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;

Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
