Proverbs 1:18

but they set an ambush to kill themselves;
they attack their own lives.

They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger subsided.

See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,
conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.

The Lord has revealed Himself;
He has executed justice,
striking down the wicked
by the work of their hands.Higgaion. Selah

God, You will bring them down
to the Pit of destruction;
men of bloodshed and treachery
will not live out half their days.
But I will trust in You.

A wicked man’s iniquities entrap him;
he is entangled in the ropes of his own sin.

“Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten secretly is tasty!”

A man burdened by bloodguilt
will be a fugitive until death.
Let no one help him.

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said.

“What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”
