4:8 Even as I have seen, 1 those who plow 2 iniquity 3
and those who sow trouble reap the same. 4
22:8 The one who sows 5 iniquity will reap trouble,
and the rod of his fury 6 will end.
17:10 For you ignore 7 the God who rescues you;
you pay no attention to your strong protector. 8
So this is what happens:
You cultivate beautiful plants
and plant exotic vines. 9
17:11 The day you begin cultivating, you do what you can to make it grow; 10
the morning you begin planting, you do what you can to make it sprout.
Yet the harvest will disappear 11 in the day of disease
and incurable pain.
8:7 They sow the wind,
and so they will reap the whirlwind!
The stalk does not have any standing grain;
it will not produce any flour.
Even if it were to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it all up.
