³¹ Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness shall be his reward.

⁴ None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷ Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

⁸ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

³ For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁸ Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

⁷ For they sow the wind, And they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

²⁰ He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

¹⁰ For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength; therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set it with strange slips.

¹¹ In the day of your planting you hedge it in, and in the morning you make your seed to blossom; but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

⁸ He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, And the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

¹⁰ Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If riches increase, Don't set your heart on them.

¹⁶ With him is strength and wisdom; The deceived and the deceiver are his.

⁸ According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, And sow trouble, Reap the same.
