23 In your presence he uses honeyed talk,and admires your words,But later he changes his toneand twists the words to your ruin.
24 I have hated many things but not as much as him,and the Lord hates him as well.
25 A stone falls back on the head of the one who throws it high,and a treacherous blow causes many wounds.
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.
