Proverbs 11:27

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But he who seeks evil, evil will come to him.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the hole which he made.

They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

A rebellious man seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
