Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27:25

ὁ βάλλων λίθον εἰς ὕψος ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ βάλλει, καὶ πληγὴ δολία διελεῖ τραύματα.
King James Version (KJV)

Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own head; and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds.

Modern English

Whoever throws a stone straight up will have it land on his own head, and a treacherous blow will wound the one who deals it.
