Haman also comes to mind. They will be hung on their own gallows.

Gallows.....

I learned it was a gallows but there is another translation:
Esther 7:10

New Living Translation
So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

King James Bible
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.

New King James Version
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.

On Haman....

By the way, in Deuteronomy 17 the Hebrews were told “but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the LORD your God has commanded you.

....But they had mercy on a baby. The baby grew up and his grandchild was Haman who dedicated his energy to slaughtering all Jews. A lesson to not substitute our decisions and opinions in place of God’s.
