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.

30 Anger and wrath, these also are abominations,
    and the sinful man will possess them.
