The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.[ Higgaion. Selah

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.

but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit; Without cause have they digged a pit for my soul.Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

And the king said, Let him come in.So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.

And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
