Proverbs 11:18

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.

He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.

Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.

He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make shalom.
