Psalms 7:14–15

¹⁵Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

³⁵They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

¹¹Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

⁴None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

²⁰The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

⁸Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

¹⁰Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

²⁷Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

⁸He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

⁷For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

⁸Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

⁶They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

¹⁵The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

¹⁶The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁰So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.

²⁰Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

²²¶ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

⁹As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

⁸⁵The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

²⁷Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
