Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.
He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.

The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated.
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
