Proverbs 11:18

Modern King James Version

The wicked makes a deceitful wage; but one sowing righteousness has a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

And God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and became very mighty.

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

The labor of the righteous tends to life; the fruit of the wicked tends to sin.

He who sows iniquity shall reap vanity; and the rod of his anger shall fail.

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

He who digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks a hedge, a snake shall bite him.

Their heart is divided; now they shall be guilty. He shall break down their altars, and He shall spoil their images.

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

For you ought to put off the old man (according to your way of living before) who is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

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