Give trouble to the people who come round me to attack!
Let the bad things that they say against me
    happen to them instead![a]
10 Drop burning coals on them like rain!
    Throw those people into the fire!
Let them fall into deep holes that they cannot get out of!
11 People who tell cruel lies should not live in our land.
Trouble will happen to people who like to fight.
    Bad trouble will knock them down!
