Sirach 27:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful.

²⁹ He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it.

³⁰ A mischievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him.
