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

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.

⁶ A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.

⁸ Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.

¹⁵ Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

²³ And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

²² His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.

⁸ Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.
