Proverbs 11:18

The Scriptures 1998

The wrong one earns false wages, But the one sowing righteousness, a true reward.

See the chapter Copy

So Elohim was good to the midwives, and the people increased and became very numerous.

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

The wage of the righteous is for life, The increase of the wrong is for sin.

He who sows unrighteousness reaps trouble, And the rod of his wrath perishes.

The wrong one is entrapped In his own crookednesses, And he is caught in the cords of his sin.

He who digs a pit falls into it, and whoever breaks through a wall is bitten by a snake.

Their heart has been slippery, now they are guilty. He breaks down their altars, He destroys their pillars.

“He who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping rejoice together.

that you put off – with regard to your former way of life – the old man, being corrupted according to the desires of the deceit,

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