YHWH has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.
Psalm 9:16
The wicked scheme for advantage and hide their actions and motives. They set traps for the unsuspecting and take advantage of others' failings. No matter what a person says or does, pay attention to the end result. "By their fruit..."
A person's actions reveal his character and the character of his actions are usually revealed by their end result.
