Galatians 6:8-9
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Hosea 10:12-13
I said,‘ Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’“ But you have cultivated wickedness and harvested a thriving crop of sins. You have eaten the fruit of lies— trusting in your military might, believing that great armies could make your nation safe.

Job 27:13-23
“ This is what the wicked will receive from God; this is their inheritance from the Almighty.They may have many children, but the children will die in war or starve to death.Those who survive will die of a plague, and not even their widows will mourn them.“ Evil people may have piles of money and may store away mounds of clothing.But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will divide that money.The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the storms of the night.The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them away.It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its power.But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.

An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.

Ephesians 4:22
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

Isaiah 59:5-8
They hatch deadly snakes and weave spiders’ webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; whoever cracks them will hatch a viper.Their webs can’t be made into clothing, and nothing they do is productive. All their activity is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark.Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them.They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good. They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace.
