“Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.”
Psalms 37:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 37:15
Poetic justice appears: the sword meant for others enters the attacker's 'own heart,' and bows break before use. This principle of self-inflicted judgment appears throughout Scripture (Esther 7:10, Proverbs 26:27). The Hebrew 'lev' (heart) represents the vital center—the very weapon aimed at victims fatally wounds the assailant. God's judgment often uses the wicked's schemes against them, teaching that evil is ultimately self-destructive. This doesn't require divine intervention so much as the intrinsic consequences of sin.
