How to reword this: repeated back on him?

I don't know how to reword this:
Along the way, we see how the faults Jacob made earlier in life are repeated back on him.
I know
repeated back on him
doesn't sound correct, but I don't know what to replace it with.
Any ideas?

first of all, it's "the mistakes" he made — one doesn't make faults
- are revisited upon him
- return upon him
- come back to bite him in the [tuchus]
- come back to haunt him
- come home to roost
- beat a path back to his door [a play on "if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door"]
