In my experience, those who plow injustice

and those who sow trouble reap the same.

You will approach the grave in full vigor,

as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.

While still uncut shoots,

they would dry up quicker than any other plant.

They gather their fodder in the field

and glean the vineyards of the wicked.

Those who sow in tears

will reap with shouts of joy.

and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper

or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

The one who sows injustice will reap disaster,

and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

One who watches the wind will not sow,

and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.

“Speak as follows: ‘This is what the LORD declares: Human corpses will fall like manure on the surface of the field, like newly cut grain after the reaper with no one to gather it.

They have sown wheat but harvested thorns.

They have exhausted themselves but have no profit.

Be put to shame by your harvests

because of the LORD’s burning anger.
