7-22-06 Psalms 7:14-16

Psalms 7:14-16 (KJ21)
Behold, the wicked travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he hath made. His mischief shall return upon his own head; and his violent dealings shall come down upon his own pate.

Psalms 7:14-16 (NAS)
Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief, and brings forth falsehood. He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate.

Psalms 7:14-16 (NIVUS)
He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment. He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made. The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head.

Psalms 7:14-16 (NLT)
The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a pit to trap others and then fall into it themselves. They make trouble, but it backfires on them. They plan violence for others, but it falls on their own heads.




There are some people who are twisted and are bent on ruin and destruction. They set snares for others which cause pain and sorrow. They do not realize that they are weaving a noose for their own necks. Everything they plan and do will come to nothingness. These are wicked, evil, false, and unjust. They conceive and become pregnant with mischief and perverseness. They labor and toil to produce trouble and grief. The only things that they bear and beget are deceit and lies. They are vain shams.

The wicked dig pits and holes, hoping that the innocent and guileless will fall into them. These evil ones want to see their enemies imprisoned in a dungeon. However, they will fall into these pits and ditches themselves. They will be cast into a grave, where they will suffer corruption and destruction. They shall be overthrown and overwhelmed. What they have thrown at others will return to strike them on the head. They will come to weeping and poverty. They will not be able to shake off the violence that they have dealt to others. It will come back abundantly upon the crown of their heads. They will bow down and shrivel up. They will sink and be subdued.

Therefore, do not be concerned over those who wok mischief in your life, for they shall receive the reward of their actions
