Proverbs 11:18

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: But to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

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

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: And the rod of his anger shall fail.

And they lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.

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

that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

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

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: The fruit of the wicked to sin.

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