Proverbs 11:18

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.

See the chapter Copy

He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed.

And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.

His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.

To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.

The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.

Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.
