In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.
-
Isaiah 18:5-6
For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over and the blossom becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with a pruning knife, and tear away and remove the branches.They will all be left for the birds of prey on the hills and for the wild animals of the land. The birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, and all the wild animals the winter.

Jeremiah 5:31
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority. My people love it like this. But what will you do at the end of it?

Psalms 90:6
in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.

Hosea 9:1-4
Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly as the nations do, for you have acted promiscuously, leaving your God. You love the wages of a prostitute on every grain-threshing floor.Threshing floor and wine vat will not sustain them, and the new wine will fail them.They will not stay in the land of the LORD. Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.They will not pour out their wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please him. Their food will be like the bread of mourners; all who eat it become defiled. For their bread will be for their appetites alone; it will not enter the house of the LORD.

-
Hosea 10:12-15
Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the LORD until he comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain.You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in your large number of soldiers,the roar of battle will rise against your people, and all your fortifications will be demolished in a day of war, like Shalman’s destruction of Beth-arbel. Mothers will be dashed to pieces along with their children.So it will be done to you, Bethel, because of your extreme evil. At dawn the king of Israel will be totally destroyed.
-
Romans 2:5
Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.

Joel 1:5-12
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you wine drinkers, because of the sweet wine, for it has been taken from your mouth.For a nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.It has devastated my grapevine and splintered my fig tree. It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away; its branches have turned white.Grieve like a young woman dressed in sackcloth, mourning for the husband of her youth.Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, who are ministers of the LORD, mourn.The fields are destroyed; the land grieves; indeed, the grain is destroyed; the new wine is dried up; and the fresh oil fails.Be ashamed, you farmers, wail, you vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the date palm, and the apple— all the trees of the orchard— have withered. Indeed, human joy has dried up.

Isaiah 65:13-14
Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says:“ Look! My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. Look! My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Look! My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.Look! My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart, but you will cry out from an anguished heart, and you will lament out of a broken spirit.
-
Matthew 8:11-12
I tell you that many will come from east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
-
Galatians 6:7-8
Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap,because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
