Proverbs 26:27

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

He who leads the upright astray in an evil way
Will himself fall into his own pit,
But the blameless will inherit good.

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.

He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.
