Psalms 7:14-16
14 See the one who is pregnant with wickedness,
who conceives destructive plans,
and gives birth to harmful lies—
15 he digs a pit ▼
▼tn Heb “a pit he digs and he excavates it.” Apparently the imagery of hunting is employed; the wicked sinner digs this pit to entrap and destroy his intended victim. The redundancy in the Hebrew text has been simplified in the translation.
and then falls into the hole he has made. ▼
16 He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans ▼ —
and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. ▼
▼tn Heb “and on his forehead his violence [i.e., the violence he intended to do to others] comes down.”
