Come home to roost

The phrase "come home to roost" means that the negative consequences or repercussions of one's actions will eventually catch up to them. It suggests that if someone engages in harmful or unethical behavior, they will eventually have to face the consequences or suffer the backlash as a result. It implies that one cannot escape the outcomes of their actions indefinitely, as these outcomes will eventually return or "come home" to the individual involved.
