So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw.
Then he commanded, “Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit”—and it was done.
Evening passed and morning came—that was the third day.
You make grass grow for the cattle and plants for us to use, so that we can grow our crops
As surely as seeds sprout and grow, The Sovereign Lord will save his people, And all the nations will praise him.
The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit; first the tender stalk appears, then the head, and finally the head full of grain.
Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes.
And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity.
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.
God blesses the soil which drinks in the rain that often falls on it and which grows plants that are useful to those for whom it is cultivated.
