⁸ Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.

⁸ As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!

³ For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

¹³ Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.

³¹ For from the voice of Jehovah broken down `is' Asshur, With a rod He smiteth.

⁷ Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

⁸ because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

⁷ For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none -- a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield -- strangers do swallow it up.

²⁹ Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit `is' a flying saraph.

⁵ Wo `to' Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand `is' Mine indignation.

⁴ Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as `in' the day of Midian.

³ In the mouth of a fool `is' a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.
