![]() ![]() ¿Cómo se dice 'To dig your own grave' en español? ![]() En holandés existe la expresión ' Wie een kuil graaft voor een ander valt er zelf in' .. ' He who digs a hole for someone else will fall into it himself'. (If there is an English expression for this as well it doesn't come to mind or I don't know it so I'd appreciate if someone else does know it. ![]() ¿Cómo se dice esto en español, hay una expresión así también?

Not quite what you are looking for, but Shakespeare knew the idea (Hamlet again):
For 'tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petar; As explained here. Very roughly, if you make a bomb to blow someone up, it might blow you up. |
