Ben Sira 27:26-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

26. Whoever digs a pit falls into it,and whoever lays a snare is caught in it.

27. The evil anyone does will recoil on himwithout knowing how it came upon him.

28. Mockery and abuse will befall the arrogant,and vengeance lies in wait for them like a lion.

29. Those who rejoice in the downfall of the godly will be caught in a snare,and pain will consume them before they die.
