10 Let the wicked jfall into their own nets,
while I pass by safely.
8 Let jdestruction come upon him kwhen he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his destruction!
10 nSo they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. oThen the wrath of the king abated.
15 He makes ma pit, digging it out,
and falls into the hole that he has made.
16 His nmischief returns upon his own head,
and on his own skull his violence descends.
14 The wicked draw the sword and ubend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose vway is upright;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their wbows shall be broken.
7 wBut God shoots his arrow at them;
they are wounded suddenly.
8 They are brought to ruin, with their own xtongues turned against them;
9 As for the head of those who surround me,
let nthe mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
8 mThe righteous is delivered from trouble,
and the wicked walks into it instead.
