Translation

He who digs a pit may fall into it, and the one who breaks through a stone wall may be bitten by a snake.

The one who sets a trap for men or animals might be the one to be caught in the trap; the one who takes a risk, and destroys a barrier that has stood a long time might get burned by that risk. So be careful! Be wise.
