Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 23:8

ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταληφθήσεται ἁμαρτωλός, καὶ λοίδορος καὶ ὑπερήφανος σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς.
King James Version (KJV)

The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby.

The sinner is caught in his own foolishness; both the slanderer and the arrogant stumble because of it.
