An evil man seeks only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated.

In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.

Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
