“When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
May a cry be heard from their houses, when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them! For they have dug a pit to take me and laid snares for my feet.
Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for my life. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
He who digs a pit will fall into it, and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.
The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law.
The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
