“...the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.”—Psalm 9:6
This includes all the mental contortions required to justify their evil actions. Only the goodness and loving kindness of the Lord can save us, apart from Him we’re all lost.
Thanks for the verse! How about this one?
Psalm 10:8:He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. 9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net. 10 So he crouches, he lies low, That the helpless may fall by his strength. 11 He has said in his heart, “God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see.”
