27:20 Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.

27:21 As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after reviling there may be reconcilement: but he that betrayeth secrets is without hope.

27:22 He that winketh with the eyes worketh evil: and he that knoweth him will depart from him.

27:23 When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings.

27:24 I have hated many things, but nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him.

27:25 Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own head; and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds.

27:26 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.

27:27 He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and he shall not know whence it cometh.

27:28 Mockery and reproach are from the proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.

27:29 They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall be taken in the snare; and anguish shall consume them before they die.
