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

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth,
Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.

He also loved cursing, so it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;
