12 God is a just judge,
    a God who expresses his indignation every day.
13 When a sinner refuses to repent,
    God sharpens his sword,
    and he bends and aims his bow.
14 He has prepared deadly weapons for him
    and made his arrows into fiery shafts.
15 [a]Behold, he who conceives iniquity
    and is pregnant with mischief
    will give birth to lies.
16 He digs a pit and makes it deep,
    but he will fall into the trap he has made.
17 His wickedness will recoil upon his own head,
    and his violence will fall back on his own crown.
