Sirach 27:25-30 World English Bible (WEB)

25. One that casts a stone on high casts it on his own head; And a deceitful stroke will open wounds.

26. He that digs a pit shall fall into it; And he that sets a snare shall be taken therein.

27. He that does evil things, they shall roll upon him, And he shall not know whence they have come to him.

28. Mockery and reproach are from the haughty; And vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for him.

29. They that rejoice at the fall of the godly shall be taken in a snare; And anguish shall consume them before they die.

30. Wrath and anger, these also are abominations; And a sinful man shall possess them.
