Divine payback

Whoever prays for evil to come on his fellowman,
punishment comes on him first.
—Kitzur Shulchan Orach, XXIX, 14.

Right text (although my translation says "Divine Judgement" rather than "evil"), wrong link: the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is not the Shulchan Aruch. ("Kitzur" is Hebrew for "abbreviated". My copy of the KSA is a single trade-paperback-size book. My copy of the SA is ten tabloid-size volumes, each one as thick as my KSA.)

^^^This criticism works for a great many religious texts. e.g., karma^^^
