Scripture: Psalm 7:14-16
"Behold, he travails with wickedness, and he conceives mischief, and brings forth falsehood. He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, and has fallen into the hole which he made. His mischief will return upon his own head, and his violence will descend upon his own pate."
Commentary:
Violence carried out against civilians exposes how deeply cycles of mistrust and revenge can run. Restaurants are meant for gathering, not attacks—local families will wrestle with fear for a long time. Scripture shows that those who devise destruction often reap consequences themselves.
