People who set traps fall into them themselves.
Whoever digs a pit falls into it, and whoever lays a snare is caught in it.
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and whoever sets a snare will be caught in it.

He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who sets a snare will be caught in it.
He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who sets a snare will be caught in it.
And he that diggeth a ditch, shall fall into it; and he that setteth a stone to a neighbour, shall offend therein [or shall stumble in it]; and he that setteth a snare to another man, shall perish therein.
