Proverbs 26:27 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Whoso diggeth a pit That another may fall into it; shall fall therein Himself. For, by the righteous judgment of God, the wicked are not only generally disappointed in their designs, but involve themselves in that mischief which they intended to do to others: see on Psalms 7:15; Psalms 9:15. And he that rolleth a stone Namely, up a hill, with a design to do mischief to some person or thing with it; it will return upon him And greatly injure if not crush him to pieces.

Proverbs 26:27

27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
