Proverbs 11:18

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The unjust one did a work of falsehood: and the seed of justice the reward of truth.

See the chapter Copy

And God will do well to the midwives, and the people will multiply and be greatly strong.

And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls.

The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

He sowing iniquity shall reap vanity, and the rod of his wrath shall be finished.

His iniquities shall take the unjust one, and with the cords of his sins shall he be held fast.

He digging a ditch shall fall into it; he breaking down a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

Their heart was divided; now shall they be guilty: he will break down their altars, he shall lay waste their images

And he reaping receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life: that he sowing might rejoice together and he reaping.

For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;

And the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those making peace.
