23  ^oHe will bring back on them their iniquity

and wipe them out for their wickedness;

the Lord our God will wipe them out.

16  for the righteous ^gfalls seven times and rises again,

but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

15  He makes a pit, digging it out,

and ^pfalls into the hole that he has made.

16  His mischief returns upon his own head,

and on his own skull his violence descends.
