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

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

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.

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.

³⁵ They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit."

¹⁴ Behold, he travails with iniquity; Yes, he has conceived mischief, And brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵ He has dug a hole, And has fallen into the pit which he made.

¹⁶ The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

¹⁸ Your way and your doings have procured these things to you; this is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.

¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; For it is time to seek Yahweh, Until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

¹³ You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, For you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

⁶ Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
