Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (comp. Psalm 9:15, 16; Psalm 35:8; Psalm 57:6; Proverbs 26:27; Proverbs 28:10, etc.). There are several illustrations of this law of God's providence in Scripture, the most striking being that of Haman. Its existence as a law was noticed by some of the classical writers, as Ovid, who says - "Nec lex justior ulla est,Quam necis artifices arte petite sua."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) He hath made.--Better, he digged a pit, and hollowed it out. Milton: "He digged a pit, and delved it deep."(15) Pate.--A word retained from Coverdale's translation, and common in the Elizabethan age. In Shakespeare it is frequent--"My inventionComes from my pate,As bird-lime does from frieze."For the moral, comp. 1Samuel 25:29.Psalm 7:15-16 are quoted by Eusebius of the overthrow of Maxentius by Constantine, with special reference to the fact that in preparing a bridge of boats he had prepared the means for his own destruction.
