Proverbs 11:18

American King James Version (1999)

The wicked works a deceitful work: but to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

He that sows iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privately for their own lives.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.

That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

The labor of the righteous tends to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
