A wicked person earns dishonest wages, but whoever spreads righteousness earns honest pay.
God was good to the midwives. So the people increased in number and became very strong.
But these people set an ambush for their own murder. They go into hiding only to lose their lives.
A righteous person’s reward is life. A wicked person’s harvest is sin.
Whoever plants injustice will harvest trouble, and this weapon of his own fury will be destroyed.
A wicked person will be trapped by his own wrongs, and he will be caught in the ropes of his own sin.
Whoever digs a pit may fall into it. Whoever breaks through a stone wall may be bitten by a snake.
They are hypocrites. Now they must take their punishment. God will tear down their altars and destroy their stone markers.
The person who harvests the crop is already getting paid. He is gathering grain for eternal life. So the person who plants the grain and the person who harvests it are happy together.
You were taught to change the way you were living. The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you.
A harvest that has God’s approval comes from the peace planted by peacemakers.
