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

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

³ For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; So that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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.

³¹ For through the voice of Yahweh shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he strike [him].

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.

²⁹ Don't rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

⁵ Ho Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

⁴ For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

³ The fool's talk brings a rod to his back, But the lips of the wise protect them.
