He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.

Some people think they are so wise. But God catches them in their own tricks. He sweeps away the evil plans of sinful people.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written:“ He is the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”;

With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah

For it is written:“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?

He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

But if you return to the city and say to Absalom,‘ I will be your servant, O king; even as I was your father’s servant in time past, so now I will also be your servant,’ then you can foil the advice of Ahithophel for me.

For they hid their net for me without cause; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.Let destruction come upon him when he is unaware, And let the net which he hid catch him; Let him fall into that very destruction.

Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; so he died and was buried in his father’s grave.

So they hanged Haman on the wooden gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

So the king said,“ Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the king’s palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the wooden gallows which he had prepared for him.So the king’s servants said to him,“ Behold, Haman is standing in the courtyard.” And the king said,“ Have him come in.”Haman then came in and the king said to him,“ What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?” And Haman said to himself,“ Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?”Therefore Haman said to the king,“ For the man whom the king desires to honor,have them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and the horse on which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal turban has been placed;then order them to hand the robe and the horse over to one of the king’s noble officials, and have them dress the man whom the king desires to honor, and lead him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him,‘ So it shall be done for the man whom the king desires to honor.’ ”Then the king said to Haman,“ Quickly, take the robe and the horse just as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate; do not fail to do anything of all that you have said.”So Haman took the robe and the horse, and dressed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him,“ So it shall be done for the man whom the king desires to honor.”

For the devious are an abomination to the Lord; But He is intimate with the upright.

But when it came to the king’s attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews was to return on his own head, and that he and his sons were to be hanged on the wooden gallows.

Now someone informed David, saying,“ Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said,“ Lord, please make the advice of Ahithophel foolish.”

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.His harm will return on his own head, And his violence will descend on the top of his own head.
