Holy Scripture
Proverbs 26:27
A church father on this verse
“Such a thing is malice! it will give way to nothing, it looks to one thing only, and that is, to destroy the person against whom it plotteth. But what saith the Scripture? "Whoso diggeth a pit for his neighbor, shall fill into it himself." Which was the case then. For they desired to kill Him, to stop, as they thought…”

In context
25Though thine enemy entreat thee with a loud voice, consent not: For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26He that hides enmity frames deceit: but being easily discerned, Exposes his own sins in the public assemblies.
— Proverbs 26:27 —
28A lying tongue hates the truth; And an unguarded mouth causes tumults.
