Sirach 27:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 If people do evil, it will roll back upon them,
and they will not know where it came from.
28 Mockery and abuse issue from the proud,
but vengeance lies in wait for them like a lion.(A)
29 Those who rejoice in the fall of the godly will be caught in a snare,
and pain will consume them before their death.(B)
