⁸ Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.

¹⁹ As `when' one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.

²⁷ Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

³ And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

¹⁵ Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

¹⁶ Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

¹⁵ A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

¹⁶ Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

¹⁰ And they hang Haman upon the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king hath lain down.

¹⁵ And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and smite Absalom, and put him to death.

²³ And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.

⁵³ and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull,

⁵⁴ and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me -- A woman slew him;' and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth.

⁵⁵ And the men of Israel see that Abimelech `is' dead, and go each one to his place;

⁵⁶ and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brethren;

⁵⁷ and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubbaal.

⁵ and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he was hidden.
