Psalms 129:7

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

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

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.

to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it.

You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,

whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance.

He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.

Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his reward.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of Yahweh’s fierce anger.”

Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”

Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
