Wisdom of Ben Sira 27:27-29
New Catholic Bible
27 Whoever does evil deeds will have that evil recoil upon him
without having the slightest idea where it came from.
28 Mockery and abuse issue from an arrogant man,
but vengeance lies in wait for him like a lion.
29 Those who rejoice at the downfall of the godly will be ensnared,
and they will be consumed with pain before their death.[a]
