Know that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul; see, you will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for what a man sows, this also he will reap.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies. If wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment; they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.

[ 2:9] Those that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.

Accordingly, as I have seen men plowing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.

He that sows wickedness shall reap troubles, and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds. [ 22:8A] God loves a cheerful and liberal man; but a man shall fully prove the folly of his works.

Because you have forsaken God your Savior, and have not been mindful of the Lord your Helper; therefore shall you plant a false plant, and a false seed.

In the day in which you shall plant you shall be deceived; but if you sow in the morning, [the seed] shall spring up for a crop in the day in which you shall obtain an inheritance, and as a man's father, you shall obtain an inheritance for your sons.

For they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.

For he who sows to his flesh, from his own flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap everlasting life.
