Psalm 7:16

Psalm 7:16 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

16The trouble they cause recoils on them;

their violence comes down on their own heads.

16His harm will return on his own head,

And his violence will descend on the top of his own head.

16His mischief will return on his own head,

And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

16His trouble recoils on himself,

and his violence falls on his own head.

16His mischief shall return upon his own head,

And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

16His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.

16The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.

His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

16The trouble they cause comes back on them.

The terrible things they do will happen to them.

16The ideas that they have to hurt other people

bring trouble on themselves!

They want to be cruel to other people,

but they themselves receive the pain!

16His perverseness returns on his head, || And his violence comes down on his crown.
