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

Verse 27 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. The reader receives a warning against immediately trusting pleasant words when the heart contains malice. Hidden hostility will eventually be exposed. The final proverbs describe moral reciprocity: whoever digs a pit may fall into it, and whoever rolls a stone may have it roll back upon him. Lies and flattery ultimately harm the person who uses them as instruments.

Wer eine Grube macht, der wird hineinfallen; und wer einen Stein wälzt, auf den wird er zurückkommen.
El que cavare sima, caerá en ella: Y el que revuelva la piedra, a él volverá.
Celui qui creuse une fosse y tombe, Et la pierre revient sur celui qui la roule.
Chi cava una fossa caderà in essa; E se alcuno rotola una pietra ad alto, ella gli tornerà addosso
O que cava uma cova cairá nela; e o que revolve a pedra, esta voltará sobre ele.
挖陷坑的,自己必陷在其中; 滾石頭的,石頭反滾在他身上。
