He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for the cursing and lying which they speak.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Sheol and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Sheol and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

You shall destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there under the fifth rib, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

And Joab said to Amasa, Are you in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he struck him with it in the fifth rib, and shed out his entrails to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his gray head go down to the grave in peace.

It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

The fear of the LORD prolongs days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Be not overly wicked, neither be foolish: why should you die before your time?

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see you to that.

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
