Psalms 37:15
Compare all
13 aThe Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that bhis day is coming. 
14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16 aA little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked. 
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.

Psalms 37:15

Their sword shall enter into their own heart - Their purposes will recoil on themselves; or they will themselves suffer what they had devised for others. See the same sentiment expressed in Psalms 7:15-16; Psalms 9:15; compare Esther 7:10.

And their bows shall be broken - They will be defeated in their plans. God will cut them off, and not suffer them to execute their designs.
