²² Let screaming be heard from their homes
    as warriors come suddenly upon them.
For they have dug a pit for me
    and have hidden traps along my path.

²⁰ Should they repay evil for good?
    They have dug a pit to kill me,
though I pleaded for them
    and tried to protect them from your anger.

⁸ When you dig a well,
    you might fall in.
When you demolish an old wall,
    you could be bitten by a snake.

¹⁰ Those who lead good people along an evil path
    will fall into their own trap,
    but the honest will inherit good things.

¹⁵ The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others.
    Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.
