27 If a man does evil, it will roll back upon him,
    and he will not know where it came from.
28 Mockery and abuse issue from the proud man,[a]
    but vengeance lies in wait for him like a lion.
29 Those who rejoice in the fall of the godly will be caught in a snare,
    and pain will consume them before their death.
