Proverbs 11:18

King James 2000

The wicked works a deceitful work: but to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whosoever breaks through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.

He that sows iniquity shall reap trouble: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.

That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

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

The labor of the righteous leads to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he shall break down their altars, he shall ruin their images.
