Proverbs 11:18

New King James Version

The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.

See the chapter Copy

He who digs a pit will fall into it, And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.

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

He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail.

But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives.

His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin.

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who 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 wages of the wicked to sin.

Their heart is divided; Now they are held guilty. He will break down their altars; He will ruin their sacred pillars.
