Proverbs 28:10
Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit: But the upright shall have good things in possession.
In context
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: But he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, He shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be abomination. 10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit: But the upright shall have good things in possession. 11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: But when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
